Matthew 18:15-17 (corrected)

By Diogenes ( articles ) | May 10, 2004

If thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 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. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church. But if he neglect to hear the church ... well ... let him remain to thee as a brother while thou settest up a blue ribbon committee to study the appropriate response mechanisms. With any luck, by the time the committee doth issue a report, thy brother shall have finished his second term and the church will be a Muslim day-care facility anyway.
