Matthew 18:15-17 Wherefore, if your brother trespass against you, go and expostulate with him, when you and he are alone together. If he hear you, you have gained your brother;

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ Wherefore, if your brother trespass against you, go and expostulate with him, when you and he are alone together. If he hear you, you have gained your brother; ¹⁶ but if he will not hear, take one or two along with you, that by the testimony of two or three witnesses everything may be ascertained. ¹⁷ If he despises them, tell the congregation; and if he despise the congregation also, let him be to you as a pagan or a publican.
