And if he refuses to listen even to the church, flet him be to you as ga Gentile and ha tax collector. 18Truly, I say to you, iwhatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed ▼▼Or shall have been bound . . . shall have been loosed
in heaven. Matthew 18:20

3since you seek proof that Christ vis speaking in me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but wis powerful among you.2 Corinthians 13:10
