Matthew
18:15-20
15
'IF YOUR BROTHER SINS AGAINST YOU,
GO
AND SHOW HIM HIS FAULT,
JUST
BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU.
IF
HE LISTENS TO YOU,
YOU
HAVE WON YOUR BROTHER OVER.
16
BUT IF HE WILL NOT LISTEN,
TAKE
ONE OR TWO OTHERS ALONG,
SO
THAT EVERY MATTER MAY BE ESTABLISHED
BY
THE TESTIMONY OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES.
17
IF HE REFUSES TO LISTEN TO THEM,
TELL
IT TO THE CHURCH;
AND
IF HE REFUSES TO LISTEN
EVEN
TO THE CHURCH,
TREAT
HIM AS YOU WOULD A PAGAN OR TAX COLLECTOR.
18
I TELL YOU THE TRUTH,
WHATEVER
YOU BIND ON EARTH
WILL
BE BOUND IN HEAVEN,
AND
WHATEVER YOU LOOSE ON EARTH
WILL
BE LOOSED IN HEAVEN.
20
FOR WHERE TWO OR THREE COME TO GETHER IN MY NAME,
THERE
AM I WITH THEM.'
(Matthew 18:15-20)
If another Christians Sins
against us,
We are to go to them and show them
their Fault,
Just between the two of us.
But if they will refuse to listen,
We are to take Two or Three other
Christians with us,
So that the matter may be
established
By the Testimony of Two or Three
Witnesses.
If the Sinning Christian refuses to
listen,
Tell it to the Church;
And if he refused to listen even to
the Church,
Treat him as a Pagan or Unbeliever.
Whatever Truth is Bound on Earth
Is Bound in Heaven,
And whatever Truth is loosed on
Earth
Will be loosed in Heaven.
