²³ Therefore, if you are ^(A)presenting your ^[a]offering at the altar, and there you remember that your brother has something against you, ²⁴ leave your ^[b]offering there before the altar and go; first be ^(B)reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your ^[c]offering.

Discipline and Prayer

¹⁵ “Now ^(A)if your brother sins^[a], go and ^[b]show him his fault ^[c]in private; if he listens to you, you have gained your brother. ¹⁶ But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that ^(B)on the ^[d]testimony of two or three witnesses every ^[e]matter may be confirmed. ¹⁷ And if he refuses to listen to them, ^(C)tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, ^(D)he is to be to you as ^[f]a Gentile and ^[g]a tax collector.

²⁵ And whenever you ^(A)stand praying, ^(B)forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you for your ^[a]offenses.
