Matthew 18:15-22

If Your Brother Sins Against You

15 aIf 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. 16But 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. 17If 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. 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.
19Again I say to you, if two of you kagree on earth about anything they ask, lit will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20For where two or three are mgathered in my name, nthere am I among them.”

The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant

21Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often owill my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? pAs many as seven times?” 22Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy-seven times.
