This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
18:15 Confronting an offender
15 “If 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] 16 But 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] 17 Then 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’?
Luk 17:3:
If a fellow-believer disobeys God, scold them, and then if they stop and request forgiveness, forgive them.
Deu 19:15:
15 A single witness must not be used to condemn anyone—a matter must only be considered proven if there’s at least two or three witnesses.[ref]
