Matthew 18:16 in Context — Matthew 18

14 Así, no es la voluntad de vuestro Padre que está en los cielos, que se pierda uno de estos pequeños.

15 Por tanto, si tu hermano pecare contra ti, ve, y redargúyele entre ti y él solo: si te oyere, has ganado á tu hermano.

16 Mas si no [te] oyere, toma aún contigo uno ó dos, para que en boca de dos ó de tres testigos conste toda palabra.

17 Y si no oyere á ellos, dilo á la iglesia: y si no oyere á la iglesia, tenle por étnico y publicano.

18 De cierto os digo [que] todo lo que ligareis en la tierra, será ligado en el cielo; y todo lo que desatareis en la tierra, será desatado en el cielo.
