Schism:
a separation, an alienation causing divisions among Christians, who ought to be united (1Cr 12:25).
Schism:
siz'-m (schisma): Only in 1Co 12:25. The same Greek word, literally, "a split," is translated "rent" in Mt 9:16; Mr 2:21; and "division" in Joh 7:43; 9:16; 10:19. It designates "a separation," not from, but within, the church, interfering with the harmonious coordination and cooperation of the members described in the preceding verses (1Co 12:18 ). The ecclesiastical meaning is that of a break from a church organization, that may or may not be connected with a doctrinal dissent.

Schism:
"a rent, division," is translated "schism" in 1Cr 12:25, metaphorically of the contrary condition to that which God has designed for a local church in "tempering the body together" (ver. 24), the members having "the same care one for another" ("the same" being emphatic).
See DIVISION, No. 3, RENT.
