Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you; but that you be perfect in the same mind, and in the same judgment.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown

Christ--whom Paul wishes to be all in all to the Corinthians, and therefore names Him so often in this chapter. speak . . . same thing--not speaking different things as ye do (Co1 1:12), in a spirit of variance. divisions--literally, "splits," "breaches." but--"but rather." perfectly joined together--the opposite word to "divisions." It is applied to healing a wound, or making whole a rent. mind . . . judgment--the view taken by the understanding, and the practical decision arrived at [CONYBEARE and HOWSON], as to what is to be done.
