² All the Israelites grumbled^(A) against Moses and Aaron, and the whole assembly said to them, “If only we had died in Egypt!^(B) Or in this wilderness!^(C)

²⁴ But because my servant Caleb^(A) has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly,^(B) I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it.^(C)

³⁴ When the Lord heard^(A) what you said, he was angry^(B) and solemnly swore:^{(C) 35} “No one from this evil generation shall see the good land^(D) I swore to give your ancestors, ³⁶ except Caleb^(E) son of Jephunneh. He will see it, and I will give him and his descendants the land he set his feet on, because he followed the Lord wholeheartedly.^(F)”

¹³ The Lord says:

Dealing With Sin in the Church

¹⁵ “If your brother or sister^[a] sins,^[b] go and point out their fault,^(A) just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. ¹⁶ But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’^{[c](B) 17} If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church;^(C) and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.^(D)

¹⁸ “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be^[d] bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be^[e] loosed in heaven.^(E)

²² And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.^{(A) 23} If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”^(B)

Jesus Appears to Thomas

²⁴ Now Thomas^(C) (also known as Didymus^[a]), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came.

³ For my part, even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit.^(A) As one who is present with you in this way, I have already passed judgment in the name of our Lord Jesus^(B) on the one who has been doing this. ⁴ So when you are assembled and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present, ⁵ hand this man over^(C) to Satan^(D) for the destruction of the flesh,^[a][b] so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.^(E)
