Jesus Teaching: Sin Autority of the Church

If your brother sins (against you) Go and tell him his fault between you and him alone If he listens to you You have won over your brother If he does not listen Take one or two others along with you So that 'every fact may be established on the testimony of two or three witnesses If he refuses to listen to them Tell the church If he refuses to listen even to the church Then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector Amen, I say to you Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven And whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven [MT 18:15-18]
