Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:12

πᾶσα στάσις καὶ πᾶν σχίσμα βδελυκτὸν ἦν ὑμῖν. ἐπὶ τοῖς παραπτώμασιν τῶν πλησίον ἐπενθεῖτε· τὰ ὑστερήματα αὐτῶν ἴδια ἐκρίνετε.

English · Claude translation

Every faction and every schism was abominable to you. You mourned over the transgressions of your neighbors; you considered their shortcomings your own.
