Matthew 18:16-17
Context18:16 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. 1 18:17 If 2 he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. If 3 he refuses to listen to the church, treat him like 4 a Gentile 5 or a tax collector. 6
