Keep it short and simple. They are adults, able to understand what you ask of them, and able to understand that you have the right to request this. At the first time, say something like: "Please, you guys in the 5th row, your chatter is disturbing the class. If it's important for the class, you can always raise your hand and ask." At the second time (which shouldn't happen): "Please, if you really need to discuss something unrelated to the class, you can do it outside." At the third time, ask them directly to leave.

Also, don't be too picky. Sometimes people mishear your words or aren't sure what you've written. It happens that they ask the neighbour and he replies. Pointing out this can be annoying to the students themselves, since it's often a result of the lecture, and it would be more annoying if they asked you to repeat stuff often.

Last but not least, do not tell thethem to listen to you and keep paying attention. Again, they are adults, they know why they are there and it's their responsibility. Make them keep paying attention by good lecturing, and ignore those that don't try to pay attention.
