This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
That there should be no schism (hina mē ēi schisma). Purpose of God in his plan for the body. Trouble in one organ affects the whole body. A headache may be due to trouble elsewhere and usually is.
Have the same care (to auto merimnōsin). The very verb merimnaō used by Jesus of our anxiety (Mat 6:27, Mat 6:31). Paul here personifies the parts of the body as if each one is anxious for the others. The modern knowledge of the billions of cells in the body Corinthians-working for the whole confirms Paul’s argument.
