This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
43. σχίσμα. Whence our word ‘schism.’ It means a serious and possibly violent division: Joh 9:16, Joh 10:19; 1Co 1:10; 1Co 12:25; comp. Act 14:4; Act 23:7. In N.T. it is never used in the modern sense of a separation from the Church, but of parties in the Church. In the Synoptists it is used only in its original sense of physical severing; ‘a worse rent is made;’ Mat 9:16; Mar 2:21.
