Matthew 18:16
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’
In context
14 In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
15 If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
16 But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’
17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, regard him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
18 Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
