1Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye
which are spiritual, restore such an one in the
spirit of meekness considering thyself, lest
thou also be tempted.
22Church Discipline
15Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against
thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and
him alone if he shall hear thee, thou
23Church Discipline
hast gained thy brother. 16But if he will not
hear thee, then take with thee one or two more,
that in the mouth of two or three
24Church Discipline
witnesses every word may be established. 17And if
he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the
church but if he neglect to hear the
25Church Discipline
church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man
and a publican.
26Church Discipline
14Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are

weak, be patient toward all men.
27Church Discipline
17Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which
cause divisions and offences contrary to the
doctrine which ye have learned and avoid them.
28Church Discipline
6Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our
Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves
from every brother that walketh disorderly, and
not after the tradition which he received of us.

strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife,
railings, evil surmisings, 5Perverse disputings
of men of corrupt minds, and destitute

of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness
from such withdraw thyself.

6Sufficient to such a man is this punishment,
which was inflicted of many. 7So that
contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and
comfort him, lest perhaps such a one
45Church Discipline
should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
8Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm
your love toward him. 9For to this end also did I
write, that I might know the
46Church Discipline
proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all
things. 10To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive
also for if I forgave any thing, to whom I
forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in
47Church Discipline
the person of Christ 11Lest Satan should get an
advantage of us for we are not ignorant of his
devices.
