Alternate translation: [I urge] (2) use a word or phrase that indicates the beginning of a new section. Alternate translation: [Next, I urge]

In this sentence, the words I urge you are located far from what Paul is urging. If it would be helpful in your language, you could move I urge you so that it comes right before that you all speak. Alternate translation: [Now brothers, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I urge you]
