Matthew 18:15-17
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
If Your Brother Sins Against You, Seek To Restore Him
15 “But if your brother sins against you[a], go, expose[b] him between you and him alone. If he listens-to you, you gained[c] your brother. 16 But if he does not listen, take-along with you one or two more in order that every word may be established based-on the mouth of two or three witnesses. And if he refuses-to-listen-to them, tell it to the church. 17 And if he even refuses[d] to listen to the church, let him be to you just like the Gentile[e] and the tax-collector[f].
