6. 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. But if he
does not listen, take one or
two others along with you,
that every charge may be
established by the evidence
of two or three witnesses. If
he refuses to listen to them,
tell it to the church. And if he
refuses to listen even to the
church, let him be to you as a
Gentile and a tax collector.

First Step
Approach your crossline
and tell him his fault
8. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every
charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses.
If First Step doesn’t work…
Second Step
Get two or three witnesses
9. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church.
If First & Second Steps don’t work…
Third Step
Report it to the company
10. And if he refuses to listen even to the church,
let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.
If First, Second & Third Steps still won’t work…
Fourth Step
Treat him as a nobody
11. “An eye for an eye will only make
the whole world blind.”
