“SCHISM.—Only 1 Co 12:25 ‘That there should be no schism in the body’: Gr. σχίσμα, which means either lit. a rent in a garment (Mt 9:16 = Mk 2:21) or fig. a division in a community (Jn 7:48; 9:16; 10:19, 1 Co 12:23; 1:10; 11:18; 12:25). RV retains ‘schism’ in 1 Co 12:25, and in the marg. of 11:18 points out that the Gr. is ‘schisms’ (text ‘divisions’). See Heresy, vol. ii. p. 351a.” (Volume 4, Page 419)

The Revisers have introduced a. at Mt 14:26, Mk 6:49 as tr. of φάντασμα (AV ‘spirit’).” (Volume 1, Page 127)
