Matthew 18:16 in Context — Matthew 18

14 Da mesma maneira, não é da vontade do vosso Pai, que [está] nos céus, que um sequer destes pequeninos se perca.

15 Porém, se teu irmão pecar contra ti, vai repreendê-lo entre ti e ele só; se te ouvir, ganhaste o teu irmão.

16 Mas se não ouvir, toma ainda contigo um ou dois, para que toda palavra se confirme pela boca de duas ou três testemunhas.

17 E se não lhes der ouvidos, comunica à igreja; e se também não der ouvidos à igreja, considera-o como gentio e publicano.

18 Em verdade vos digo que tudo o que vós ligardes na terra será ligado no céu; e tudo o que desligardes na terra será desligado no céu.
