Matthew 18:15-25

15 Therefore if thy brother shall sin against thee, go and reprove him 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 congregation {Gr. ekklesia – called out ones}; but if he neglects to hear the congregation, let him be unto thee as a worldly man and a publican.

18 Verily I say unto you, Whatever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in the heaven; and whatever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in the heaven.

19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in the heavens.

20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

21 Then Peter came to him and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? until seven times?

22 Jesus said unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times, but, Until seventy times seven.

23 Therefore is the kingdom of the heavens likened unto a man who is king who would take account of his slaves.

24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him who owed him ten thousand talents.

25 But he not having wherewith to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children and all that he had, to make payment.
