Confronting an offender

Mat 18:15–17

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]

15 And if the brother of_you may_sin, be_going, rebuke him between you and him only.
If he_may_hear from_you, you_gained the brother of_you.
16 But if he_may_ not _hear, take one or two more with you in_order_that on the_mouth of_two or three witnesses, every message may_be_established.
17 And if he_may_refuse_to_hear from_them, tell to_the assembly.
And if he_may_ also _refuse_to_hear from_the assembly, him_let_be to_you as the pagan and the tax_collector.

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’?
