Matthew 18:15-22

15“If a believer does something wrong, go, confront him when the two of you are alone. If he listens to you, you have won back that believer.

16But if he does not listen, take one or two others with you so that every accusation may be verified by two or three witnesses.

17If he ignores these witnesses, tell it to the community of believers. If he also ignores the community, deal with him as you would a heathen or a tax collector.

18I can guarantee this truth: Whatever you imprison, God will imprison. And whatever you set free, God will set free.

19“I can guarantee again that if two of you agree on anything here on earth, my Father in heaven will accept it.

20Where two or three have come together in my name, I am there among them.”

21Then Peter came to Jesus and asked him, “Lord, how often do I have to forgive a believer who wrongs me? Seven times?”

22Jesus answered him, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy times seven.
