What happens if we have the right attitude and attempt to reconcile with someone who has sinned against us, but he or she won’t listen? But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that “by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.” And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector. —MATTHEW 18:16–17
