Matthew 18:15-18

New American Standard Bible 1995

Discipline and Prayer

¹⁵ “^(A)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 ^(B)by the mouth of two or three witnesses every ^[d]fact may be confirmed. ¹⁷ If he refuses to listen to them, ^(C)tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, ^(D)let him be to you as ^[e]a Gentile and ^[f]a tax collector. ¹⁸ Truly I say to you, ^(E)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.
