Exegesis
The prepositional phrase para tēn didachēn {παρὰ τὴν διδαχὴν | parà tḕn di-da-chḕn} marks these actions as contrary to the normative teaching specified by the relative clause hēn hymeis emathete {ἣν ὑμεῖς ἐμάθετε | hḕn hy-meîs e-má-the-te}.
In context — Romans 16:17
Now I urge you, brothers, keep watch over those who produce divisions and lay stumbling-blocks that oppose the teaching you learned, and turn away from them.
