Matthew 18:15–22
15 “aIf your brother sins1, go and 2show him his fault 3in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother.
16 “But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that aby the mouth of two or three witnesses every 1fact may be confirmed.
17 “If he refuses to listen to them, atell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, blet him be to you as 1a Gentile and 1a tax collector.
18 “Truly I say to you, awhatever you 1bind on earth 2shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you 3loose on earth 2shall have been loosed in heaven.
19 “Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, ait shall be done for them 1by My Father who is in heaven.
20 “For where two or three have gathered together in My name, aI am there in their midst.”
21 Then Peter came and said to Him, “Lord, ahow often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to bseven times?”
22 Jesus * said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to aseventy times seven.
