If Your Brother Sins Against You

15 ^a“If your brother sins against you, ^bgo and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have ^cgained your brother. 16 But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established ^dby the evidence of two or three witnesses. 17 If he refuses to listen to them, ^etell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, ^flet him be to you as ^ga Gentile and ^ha tax collector.

Romans 16:17-18

Final Instructions and Greetings

17 I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles ⁱcontrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; ^javoid them. 18 For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but ^ktheir own appetites, ^{▼▼Greek their own belly} and ^mby smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.
