爾中必各自為黨、以別諳練者焉、

爾中不免有各異議為黨之事、使爾中練達者顯著、

Do you really think you need to take sides? You probably think God favors one side over the other!

for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized.

But, of course, there must be divisions among you so that you who have God’s approval will be recognized!

Indeed, it is necessary that there be factions among you, so that those who are approved may be recognized among you.

For there also have to be factions among you, so that those who are approved may become evident among you.

For there must also be factions among you, that those who are approved may be recognized among you.

For there must be also factions among you, that they that are approved may be made manifest among you.

There must, indeed, be factions among you, so that those who are approved may be recognized among you.

Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said,“ The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to keep the law of Moses.”
