Matthew 18:15-20 — Legacy Standard Bible

If Your Brother Sins

¹⁵“^aNow if your brother sins¹, go and ²show him his fault, between you and him alone; 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 ^aby the mouth of two or three witnesses every ¹fact may be confirmed. ¹⁷“And if he refuses to listen to them, ^atell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, ^blet him be to you as the Gentile and the tax collector. ¹⁸“Truly I say to you, ^awhatever you ¹bind on earth ²shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you ³loose on earth ⁴shall have been loosed in heaven.

¹⁹“Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, ^ait shall be done for them ¹by My Father who is in heaven. ²⁰“For where two or three have gathered together in My name, ^aI am there in their midst.”
