* »
If your brother acts wrongly towards you ,
go and point out his fault to him when only you and he are there .
If he listens to you ,
you have gained your brother .«
*
But if he will not listen to you ,
go again ,
and ask one or two to go with you ,
that every word spoken may be attested by two or three witnesses .
*
If he refuses to hear them ,
appeal to the Church ;
and if he refuses to hear even the Church ,
regard him just as you regard a Gentile or a tax-gatherer .
*
I solemnly tell you that whatever you as a Church bind on earth will in Heaven be held as bound ,
and whatever you loose on earth will in Heaven be held to be loosed .
*
I also solemnly tell you that if two of you here on earth agree together concerning anything whatever that they shall ask ,
the boon will come to them from my Father who is in Heaven .
*
For where there are two or three assembled in my name ,
there am I in the midst of them .«
