And if thy brother trespass against thee, go and expostulate with him alone; if he hearken to thee, thou hast gained thy brother:

Take heed to yourselves: if thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

And if he trespass against thee seven times a day, and seven times in a day return to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

But that I may not trespass upon thee too far, I beg thou wouldst hear us a few words with thy wonted goodness.
