Restoring a Brother Who Sins Against Yoʋ

15 “If yoʋr brother sins [fn]against yoʋ, go show him his fault between yoʋ and him alone. If he listens to yoʋ, yoʋ have gained yoʋr brother. 16 But if he does not listen, take one or two others with yoʋ, so that every matter may be established by the mouth 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 a tax collector. 18 Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. 19 [fn]Again, truly I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there among them.”
