| New Living Translation (NLT) |
New International Version (NIV) |
|
15 "If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the fault. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back.
|
15 "If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
|
|
16 But if you are unsuccessful, take one or two others with you and go back again, so that everything you say may be confirmed by two or three witnesses.
|
16 But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.'
|
|
17 If that person still refuses to listen, take your case to the church. If the church decides you are right, but the other person won't accept it, treat that person as a pagan or a corrupt tax collector.
|
17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
