Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:330

Ἐλέγχετε δὲ ἀλλήλους μὴ ἐν ὀργῇ, ἀλλʼ ἐν εἰρήνῃ ὡς ἔχετε ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ· καὶ παντὶ ἀστοχοῦντι κατὰ τοῦ ἑτέρου μηδεὶς λαλείτω μηδὲ παρʼ ὑμῶν ἀκουέτω, ἕως οὗ μετανοήσῃ.

English · Claude translation

Reprove one another, not in anger but in peace, as you have it in the gospel; and let no one speak to anyone who has wronged another, nor let him hear anything from you, until he repents.
