Dealing with a Brother who Sins(A)

15 “If your brother sins against you,[a] go and confront him while the two of you are alone. If he listens to you, you have won back your brother. 16 But if he doesn’t listen, take one or two others with you so that ‘every word may be confirmed by the testimony[b] of two or three witnesses.’[c] 17 If, however, he ignores them, tell it to the congregation.[d] If he also ignores the congregation,[e] regard him as an unbeliever[f] and a tax collector.
