Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:88

τὸ σχίσμα ὑμῶν πολλοὺς διέστρεψεν, πολλοὺς εἰς ἀθυμίαν ἔβαλεν, πολλοὺς εἰς δισταγμόν, τοὺς πάντας ἡμᾶς εἰς λύπην· καὶ ἐπίμονος ὑμῶν ἐστιν ἡ στάσις.

Your schism has led many astray, has cast many into discouragement, many into doubt, and all of us into grief; and your faction still continues.
