Confronting an offender

18:15 Confronting an offender

15If a fellow believer sins, go where there’s just the two of you and rebuke that person privately. If they listen to you, you’ve gained back a fellow believer.[ref] 16But if they don’t listen to you, take one or two others with you, so that there’ll be two or three witnesses to verify the message.[ref] 17Then if that person still refuses to listen, tell the whole assembly. If they still refuse to hear from the assembly, treat them like a non-believer or a tax-collector.[fn]


18:17 Some might read this as a command to shun the person, but perhaps it would be better read as ‘treat them as a lost person who needs to be saved’?


18:15: Luk 17:3.

18:16: Deu 19:15.
