כל-מחלקת שהיא לשם שמים, סופה להתקים. ושאינה לשם שמים, אין סופה להתקים. איזו היא מחלקת שהיא לשם שמים? זו מחלקת הלל ושמאי. ושאינה לש שמים? זו מחלוקת קורח וכל-עדתו.- Every argument that is for heaven's name, it is destined to endure. But if it is not for heaven's name -- it is not destined to endure. What is for heaven's name? The argument of Hillel and Shammai. What is not for heaven's name? The argument of Korach and all of his congregation.
