³ Take heed to yourselves. ^(A)If your brother sins ^[a]against you, ^(B)rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant

²¹ Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? ^(A)Up to seven times?”

^17 (A)‘You shall not hate your brother in your heart. ^(B)You shall surely ^[a]rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.

Dealing with a Sinning Brother

¹⁵ “Moreover ^(A)if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, ^(B)you have gained your brother. ¹⁶ But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that ^(C)‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’ ¹⁷ And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a ^(D)heathen and a tax collector.

⁶ and said to the judges, “Take heed to what you are doing, for ^(A)you do not judge for man but for the Lord, ^(B)who is with you ^[a]in the judgment. ⁷ Now therefore, let the fear of the Lord be upon you; take care and do it, for ^(C)there is no iniquity with the Lord our God, no ^(D)partiality, nor taking of bribes.”

Bring Back the Erring One

¹⁹ Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone ^(A)turns him back,

²³ Take heed to yourselves, lest you forget the covenant of the Lord your God which He made with you, ^(A)and make for yourselves a carved image in the form of anything which the Lord your God has forbidden you.
