People's Commentary (NT)
1 Corinthians 1:10
Now I beseech you, brethren. How earnest and imploring is the
Apostle's exhortation that they should maintain unity!
That ye all speak the same thing. Have no distinctive party
declarations. This is violated in the modern sectarian symbols and
confessions.
[That] there be no divisions among you. "No schisms", in the Greek.
If there were none, and all "were perfectly joined together in the same
mind and in the same judgment", all would "speak the same thing". There
would be no variance in their declarations. It is evident, from what
follows, that, while the Corinthians had not separated into various
church organizations, they had formed several parties within the church
(1 Corinthians 1:12). Organized sects, claiming to be "branches of the
church", were unknown till centuries later.
