Matthew 18:10-20

10“SeeG3708 that you do not despiseG2706 oneG1520 of theseG3778 littleG3398 onesG3398, for I sayG3004 to you that 1their angelsG32 in heavenG3772 continuallyG1223G3956 seeG3708 the faceG4383 of My FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772. 11[23For the SonG5207 of ManG444 has comeG2064 to saveG4982 that which was lostG622.]

12“WhatG5101 do you thinkG1380? 4IfG1437 anyG5100 manG444 hasG1096 a hundredG1540 sheepG4263, and oneG1520 of them has goneG4105 astrayG4105, does he not leaveG863 the ninety-nineG1752G1767 on the mountainsG3735 and goG4198 and searchG2212 for the one that is strayingG4105? 13IfG1437 it turnsG1096 out that he findsG2147 it, trulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, he rejoicesG5463 overG1909 it moreG3123 thanG2228 overG1909 the ninety-nineG1752G1767 which have not goneG4105 astrayG4105. 14SoG3379 it is not the willG2307 5of your FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772 that oneG1520 of theseG3778 littleG3398 onesG3398 perishG622.

15“6IfG1437 your brotherG80 sinsG2647, goG5217 and 8showG1651 him his faultG1651 9in privateG3441; ifG1437 he listensG191 to you, you have wonG2770 your brotherG80. 16But ifG1437 he does not listenG191 to you, takeG3880 oneG1520 orG2228 twoG1417 moreG2089 with you, soG2443 that 10by the mouthG4750 of twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 witnessesG3144 everyG3956 11factG4487 may be confirmedG2476. 17IfG1437 he refusesG3878 to listenG3878 to them, 12tellG3004 it to the churchG1577; and ifG1437 he refusesG3878 to listenG3878 evenG2532 to the churchG1577, 13let him be to you as 14a GentileG1482 and 15a taxG5057 collectorG5057. 18TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 16whateverG3745G1437 you 17bindG1210 on earthG1093 18shall have been boundG1210 in heavenG3772; and whateverG3745G1437 you 19looseG3089 on earthG1093 20shall have been loosedG3089 in heavenG3772.

19“AgainG3825 I sayG3004 to you, that ifG1437 twoG1417 of you agreeG4856 on earthG1093 aboutG4012 anythingG3956G4229 that they may askG154, 21it shall be doneG1096 for them 22by My FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772. 20For whereG3757 twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 have gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 in My nameG3686, 23I amG1510 thereG1563 in their midstG3319.”
