¹⁵ And if thy brother sin ^[a]against thee, go, show him his fault between thee and him alone: if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. ¹⁶ But if he hear thee not, take with thee one or two more, that at the mouth of two witnesses or three every word may be established. ¹⁷ And if he refuse to hear them, tell it unto the ^[b]church: and if he refuse to hear the ^[c]church also, let him be unto thee as the Gentile and the ^[d]publican. ¹⁸ Verily I say unto you, What things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

³ Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother sin, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
