the control of the evil one. We know also that the Son of

and eternal life.

– And even devotion!

Matthew 18:15-20
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.
But if they will not listen, take one or two
others along, so that “every matter may be
established by the testimony of two or three
witnesses.” If they still refuse to listen, tell it
to the church; and if they refuse to listen even
to the church, treat them as you would a
pagan or a tax collector.
