15. Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.16. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.17. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.18. Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.19. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.20. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.21. Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?22. Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
1. Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!2. It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.3. Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.4. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.5. And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.6. And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.7. But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?8. And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?9. Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.10. So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.
