then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth

it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the
church, let him be
unto thee as an heathen man and a publican."

not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother
be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a
railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an
one no not to eat. For what have I to do to judge them
also that are without? do not ye judge them that are
within? But them that are without God judgeth.
Therefore put away
from among yourselves that wicked person."
