σχίσμα
schisma
division / schism / tear
Summary
σχίσμα ("division/tear") is what Paul warns the church to avoid in 1 Corinthians 12:25. Any structural division between those permitted to speak and those silenced — drawn along gender lines — constitutes the very schisma Paul opposes.
Used in Verses
v.25: Paul's stated goal is "no schisma in the body" — the standard against which gender-based silencing fails.
