Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:90

αἰσχρά, ἀγαπητοί, καὶ λίαν αἰσχρά, καὶ ἀνάξια τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ ἀγωγῆς ἀκούεσθαι, τὴν βεβαιοτάτην καὶ ἀρχαίαν Κορινθίων ἐκκλησίαν διʼ ἓν ἢ δύο πρόσωπα στασιάζειν πρὸς τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους·

English · Claude translation

It is shameful, beloved, very shameful, and unworthy of your conduct in Christ, that it should be reported that the most steadfast and ancient church of the Corinthians, because of one or two persons, is in revolt against its presbyters.
