Matthew 18:16 in Context — Matthew 18

14 De même, ce n’est pas la volonté de votre Père qui est dans les cieux qu’il se perde un seul de ces petits.

15 Si ton frère a péché, va et reprends-le entre toi et lui seul. S’il t’écoute, tu as gagné ton frère.

16 Mais, s’il ne t’écoute pas, prends avec toi une ou deux personnes,afin que toute l’affaire se règle sur la déclaration de deux ou de trois témoins.

17 S’il refuse de les écouter,dis-le à l’Église; et s’il refuse aussi d’écouter l’Église,qu’il soit pour toi comme un païen et un publicain.

18 Je vous le dis en vérité, tout ce que vous lierez sur la terre sera lié dans le ciel, et tout ce que vous délierez sur la terre sera délié dans le ciel.
