Greek text · Lake, LCL 25:52

πῶς ὑμεῖς παιδεύειν θέλετε τοὺς ἐκλεκτοὺς κυρίου, αὐτοὶ μὴ ἔχοντες παιδείαν; παιδεύετε οὖν ἀλλήλους καὶ εἰρηνεύετε ἐν αὑτοῖς ἵνα κἀγὼ κατέναντι τοῦ πατρὸς ἱλαρὰ σταθεῖσα λόγον ἀποδῶ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν πάντων τῷ κυρίῳ.

English · Claude translation

How do you wish to discipline the Lord's elect, when you yourselves have no discipline? Discipline one another, then, and be at peace among yourselves, so that I too may stand cheerfully before the Father and give an account for all of you to the Lord.”
