Discipline and Prayer

¹⁵ “If your brother sins^[a], go and ^[b]show him his fault ^[c]in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother. ¹⁶ But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every ^[d]fact may be confirmed. ¹⁷ If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as ^[e]a Gentile and ^[f]a tax collector. ¹⁸ Truly I say to you, whatever you ^[g]bind on earth ^[h]shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you ^[i]loose on earth ^[j]shall have been loosed in heaven.

¹⁹ “Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them ^[k]by My Father who is in heaven. ²⁰ For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.”
