Matthew 18:12-20
12“WhatG5101 do you thinkG1380? 1IfG1437 anyG5100 manG444 hasG1096 a hundredG1540 sheepG4263, and oneG1520 of them goesG4105 astrayG4105, will he not leaveG863 the ninety-nineG1752G1767 on the mountainsG3735, and goG4198 and searchG2212 forG2212 the one that is lostG4105? 13And ifG1437 it turnsG1096 outG1096 that he findsG2147 it, trulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, he rejoicesG5463 overG1909 it moreG3123 thanG2228 overG1909 the ninety-nineG1752G1767 that have not goneG4105 astrayG4105. 14SoG3779 it is not the willG2307 2of your FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772 for oneG1520 of theseG3778 littleG3398 onesG3398 to perishG622.
15“NowG1161 3ifG1437 your brotherG80 sinsG2644, goG5217 and 5showG1651 him his faultG1651 6in privateG3441; ifG1437 he listensG191 to you, you have gainedG2770 your brotherG80. 16But ifG1437 he does not listenG191 to you, takeG3880 oneG1520 orG2228 twoG1417 moreG2089 with you, soG2443 thatG2443 7on the 8testimonyG4750 of twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 witnessesG3144 everyG3956 9matterG4487 may be confirmedG2476. 17And ifG1437 he refusesG3878 toG3878 listenG3878 to them, 10tellG3004 it to the churchG1577; and ifG1437 he refusesG3878 toG3878 listenG3878 evenG2532 to the churchG1577, 11he is to be to you as 12a GentileG1482 and 13a taxG5057 collectorG5057. 18TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 14whateverG3745G1437 you 15bindG1210 on earthG1093 16shall have been boundG1210 in heavenG3772; and whateverG3745G1437 you 17looseG3089 on earthG1093 18shall 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, 19it shall be doneG1096 for them 20by My FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772. 20For whereG3757 twoG1417 orG2228 threeG5140 have gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 in My nameG3686, 21I amG1510 thereG1563 in their midstG3319.”
