Matthew 18:14-16
Evangelical Heritage Version
14 In the same way, your Father in heaven does not want even one of these little ones to perish.
Show Your Brother His Sin
15 “If your brother sins against you, go and show him his sin just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have regained your brother. 16 But if he will not listen, take one or two others along with you, so that ‘every matter[a] may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’[b]
