Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
That there should be no schism (ina mh h sxisma). Purpose of God in his plan for the body. Trouble in one organ affects the whole body. A headache may be due to trouble elsewhere and usually is.
Have the same care (to auto merimnwsin). The very verb merimnaw used by Jesus of our anxiety (Matthew 6:27, Matthew 6:31). Paul here personifies the parts of the body as if each one is anxious for the others. The modern knowledge of the billions of cells in the body co-working for the whole confirms Paul's argument.
