የማቴዎስ ወንጌል 18:15-20 (አማ54)
ወንድምህም ቢበድልህ፥ ሄደህ አንተና እርሱ ብቻችሁን ሆናችሁ ውቀሰው። ቢሰማህ፥ ወንድምህን ገንዘብ አደረግኸው፤ ባይሰማህ ግን፥ በሁለት ወይም በሦስት ምስክር አፍ ነገር ሁሉ እንዲጸና፥ ዳግመኛ አንድ ወይም ሁለት ከአንተ ጋር ውሰድ፤ እነርሱንም ባይሰማ፥ ለቤተ ክርስቲያን ንገራት፤ ደግሞም ቤተ ክርስቲያንን ባይሰማት፥ እንደ አረመኔና እንደ ቀራጭ ይሁንልህ። እውነት እላችኋለሁ፥ በምድር የምታስሩት ሁሉ በሰማይ የታሰረ ይሆናል፥ በምድርም የምትፈቱት ሁሉ በሰማይ የተፈታ ይሆናል። ደግሞ እላችኋለሁ፥ ከእናንተ ሁለቱ በምድር በማናቸውም በሚለምኑት ነገር ሁሉ ቢስማሙ በሰማያት ካለው ከአባቴ ዘንድ ይደረግላቸዋል። ሁለት ወይም ሦስት በስሜ በሚሰበሰቡበት በዚያ በመካከላቸው እሆናለሁና።
Matthew 18: 15-20 (ESV)
“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. Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed[a] in heaven. Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”
