Confronting A Brother Who Sins Against You

14 Even so, your Father in heaven does not want any of these little ones to be lost. 15 If your brother sins, go and show him his fault in private; if he listens to you, you have won your brother. 16 If he does not listen to you, take one or two more people with you. Two or three witnesses may prove every case.
