"Moreover
if thy brother shall trespass against thee,
go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if

if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two

word may be established.
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."
