But if you are unsuccessful, take one or two others with you and go back again, so that everything you say may be confirmed by two or three witnesses. If the person still refuses to listen, take your case to the church. Then if he or she won’t accept the church’s decision, treat that person as a pagan or a corrupt tax collector.”

Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will learn the truth. Then they will come to their senses and escape from the devil’s trap. For they have been held captive by him to do whatever he wants.”

James 5:19-20 (NLT)

If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important. Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won’t need to compare yourself to anyone else. For we are each responsible for our own conduct.”

“Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged. And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own? How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.”

But afterward, when some friends of James came, Peter wouldn’t eat with the Gentiles anymore. He was afraid of criticism from these people who insisted on the necessity of circumcision. As a result, other Jewish believers followed Peter’s hypocrisy, and even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. When I saw that they were not following the truth of the gospel message, I said to Peter in front of all the others, ‘Since you, a Jew by birth, have discarded the Jewish laws and are living like a Gentile, why are you now trying to make these Gentiles follow Jewish traditions?'”

“For nothing is impossible with God.”

Isaiah 5:20 (NLT)
“What sorrow for those who say that evil is good and good is evil, that dark is light and light is dark, that bitter is sweet and sweet is bitter.”

1 Corinthians 5:1-2 (NLT)
“I can hardly believe the report about the sexual immorality going on among you—something that even pagans don’t do. I am told that a man in your church is living in sin with his stepmother. You are so proud of yourselves, but you should be mourning in sorrow and shame. And you should remove this man from your fellowship.”

1 Corinthians 13:5 (NLT)
“It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.”

If the person still refuses to listen, take your case to the church. Then if he or she won’t accept the church’s decision, treat that person as a pagan or a corrupt tax collector.

‘I tell you the truth,’ Jesus said ‘whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.’

‘I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask,my Father in heaven will do it for you.’

For where two or three gather together as my followers,I am there among them.'”

1 Corinthians 5:1-13 (NLT)
“I can hardly believe the report about sexual immorality going on among you—something that even pagans don’t do. I am told that a man in your church is living in sin with his stepmother. You are so proud of yourselves! But shouldn’t you be mourning in sorrow and shame? And should remove this man from your fellowship.
Even though I am not with you in person,I am with you in spirit.And as though I were there,I have already passed judgment on this man.
In name of Lord Jesus,you must call meeting of church.I will present with you in spirit,and so will power of our Lord Jesus.Then you must throw this man out and hand him over Satan so that his sinful nature will be destroyed
and he himself will saved on day Lord returns.
Your boasting about this terrible thing isn’t good.Don’t realize that this sin is like little yeast spreads through whole batch dough?”

Matthew 18:1-35 (NLT)
“About that time disciples came Jesus asked,’Who greatest Kingdom Heaven?’Jesus called little child him put child among them.
Then he said,’I tell truth unless turn become like children,you will never enter Kingdom Heaven.So anyone becomes humble as little child
is greatest Kingdom Heaven.
And anyone welcomes little child like this my name welcoming me.
But if cause one these little ones who trusts me sin,it would better thrown into sea drown.'”
