Matthew 18:15-17

Discipline and Prayer

15 "1If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother.
16 "But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that 2BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY FACT MAY BE CONFIRMED.
17 "If he refuses to listen to them, 3tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, 4let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.
