Scripture
Matthew 18:10-20
10See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.
11(Ommitted)
12What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off?
13And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off.
14In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
15If your brother or sister The Greek word for [brother or sister] ([adelphos]) refers here to a fellow disciple, whether man or woman; also in verses 21 and 35. sins, Some manuscripts [sins against you] go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over.
16But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.'
17If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
18Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be Or [will have been] bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be Or [will have been] loosed in heaven.
19Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
20For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.
