Matthew 18:15-18
15 “If your brother sins against you, go and show him his
fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your
brother over.
16 But if he will not listen, take one or two others along,
so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three
witnesses.’
17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church;
and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan
or a tax collector.
18 “I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be
bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
1 Corinthians 5:6
Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast
works through the whole batch of dough?
2 Corinthians 2:6-7
6 The punishment inflicted on him by the majority is
sufficient for him.
7 Now instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that
he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
2 Thessalonians 3:6-15
6 In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we
command you, brothers, to keep away from every brother who is idle and does not
live according to the teaching you received from us.
7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our
example. We were not idle when we were with you,
8 nor did we eat anyone's food without paying for it. On the
contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be
a burden to any of you.
9 We did this, not because we do not have the right to such
help, but in order to make ourselves a model for you to follow.
10 For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “If
a man will not work, he shall not eat.”
11 We hear that some among you are idle. They are not busy;
they are busybodies.
12 Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ
to settle down and earn the bread they eat.
13 And as for you, brothers, never tire of doing what is
right.
14 If anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter,
take special note of him. Do not associate with him, in order that he may feel
ashamed.
15 Yet do not regard him as an enemy, but warn him as a
brother.
