倘兄弟得罪於爾、則於彼獨處時謫之、若聽、則得爾兄弟、

倘兄弟得罪爾、則於彼獨處時謫之、若聽、則救厥兄弟、

倘兄弟得罪爾、則於彼獨處時責之、若聽、則得爾兄弟、

兄弟有過、宜伺其獨處而勸之。彼若聽爾、是全爾兄弟也。

“ If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over.

“ If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.

“ If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense. If the other person listens and confesses it, you have won that person back.

“ If your brother sins against you, go tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won your brother.

“ Now if your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have gained your brother.

“ Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.

And if thy brother sin against thee, go, show him his fault between thee and him alone: if he hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

“ If your brother sins against you, go and rebuke him in private. If he listens to you, you have won your brother.

Moreover 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.

“ If your brother sins, go and show him his fault when the two of you are alone. If he listens to you, you have regained your brother.

“ If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.

“‘ Do not hate another Israelite in your heart. Correct your neighbor boldly when they do something wrong. Then you will not share their guilt.

Put up with one another. Forgive one another if you are holding something against someone. Forgive, just as the Lord forgave you.

But don’t think of them as an enemy. Instead, warn them as you would warn another believer.

So watch what you do.“ If your brother or sister sins against you, tell them they are wrong. Then if they turn away from their sins, forgive them.Suppose they sin against you seven times in one day. And suppose they come back to you each time and say,‘ I’m sorry.’ You must forgive them.”

Brothers and sisters, what if someone is caught in a sin? Then you who live by the Spirit should correct that person. Do it in a gentle way. But be careful. You could be tempted too.

My brothers and sisters, suppose one of you wanders away from the truth. And suppose someone brings that person back.Then here is what I want you to remember. Anyone who keeps a sinner from going astray will save them from death. God will erase many sins by forgiving them.

“ This is how my Father in heaven will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”

Don’t let evil overcome you. Overcome evil by doing good.

If a godly person hit me, it would be an act of kindness. If they would correct me, it would be like pouring olive oil on my head. I wouldn’t say no to it. I will always pray against the things that sinful people do.

The fruit that godly people bear is like a tree of life. And those who are wise save lives.

If you take your neighbor to court, don’t tell others any secrets you promised to keep.If you do, someone might hear it and put you to shame. And the charge against you will stand.

Instead, one believer goes to court against another. And this happens in front of unbelievers!When you take another believer to court, you have lost the battle already. Why not be treated wrongly? Why not be cheated?Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong. And you do it to your brothers and sisters.

Wives, follow the lead of your own husbands. Suppose some of them don’t believe God’s word. Then let them be won to Christ without words by seeing how their wives behave.

Suppose you sin against them in this way. Then you harm their weak sense of what is right and wrong. By doing this, you sin against Christ.

“ Suppose someone sins by not being faithful to me. They do it by tricking their neighbors. They trick them in connection with something their neighbors have placed in their care. They steal from their neighbors. Or they cheat them.Or they find something their neighbors have lost and then tell a lie about it. Or they go to court. They promise to tell the truth. But instead they tell a lie when they are a witness about it. Or they lie when they are witnesses about any other sin like those sins.When they sin in any of these ways and realize their guilt, they must return what they stole. They must give back what they took by cheating their neighbors. They must return what their neighbors placed in their care. They must return the lost property they found.They must return anything they told a lie about when they were witnesses in court. They must pay back everything in full. They must add a fifth of its value to it. They must give all of it to the owner on the day they bring their guilt offering.He must bring their guilt offering to the priest to pay for their sin. It is an offering to me. They must bring a ram from the flock. It must not have any flaws. It must be worth the required amount of money.The priest will sacrifice the ram to pay for their sin. He will do it in my sight. And they will be forgiven for any of the things they did that made them guilty.”

So even though I wrote to you, it wasn’t because of the one who did the wrong. It wasn’t because of the one who was hurt either. Instead, I wrote you so that in the sight of God you could see for yourselves how faithful you are to us.

I am free and don’t belong to anyone. But I have made myself a slave to everyone. I do it to win as many as I can to Christ.To the Jews I became like a Jew. That was to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one who was under the law. I did this even though I myself am not under the law. That was to win those under the law.To those who don’t have the law I became like one who doesn’t have the law. I did this even though I am not free from God’s law. I am under Christ’s law. Now I can win those who don’t have the law.

None of you should sin against your brother or sister by doing that. You should not take advantage of your brother or sister. The Lord will punish everyone who commits these kinds of sins. We have already told you and warned you about this.
