Matthew 18

15 If a brother*18:15. Or "fellow believer." sins against you,*18:15. The words "against you" are not in all the early manuscripts. If they are omitted, then this recommendation becomes a general one dealing with anyone’s sins, whether "against you" or not. go and point out the wrong to him, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you’ve won your brother over. 16 But if he doesn’t listen, then take one or two more people with you, so that by two or three witnesses the truth can be confirmed.*18:16. See Deuteronomy 19:15. 17 If, however, he refuses to listen to them, then tell the church. If he refuses to listen to the church as well, then treat him as a foreigner*18:17. Literally, a "Gentile," a non-believer. and a tax collector.
