Matthew 18:16-18
New English Translation

16 But if he does not listen, take one or two others with you, so that at the testimony of two or three witnesses every matter may be established.[a] 17 If[b] he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. If[c] he refuses to listen to the church, treat him like[d] a Gentile[e] or a tax collector.[f]

18 “I tell you the truth,[g] whatever you bind on earth will have been bound in heaven, and whatever you release on earth will have been released in heaven.
