- 5 15 Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him
his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have
gained your brother. 16 But if he will not hear, take with you one
or two more, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word
may be established. 17 And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to
the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be
to you like a heathen and a tax collector.

- 6 17 Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions
and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid
them. 18 For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ,
but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech
deceive the hearts of the simple.

- 7 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered
together, along with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus
Christ, 5 deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the
flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 6
Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven
leavens the whole lump? 7 Therefore purge out the old leaven, that
you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed
Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us.

sexually immoral people. 10 Yet I certainly did not mean with the
sexually immoral people of this worldsince then you would need to
go out of the world. 11 But now I have written to you not to keep
company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral--not
even to eat with such a person. . 13 But those who are outside God
judges. Therefore put away from yourselves the evil person.

brother.

the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may
wage the good warfare, 19 having faith and a good conscience, which
some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck,
20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan
that they may learn not to blaspheme.

- 11 3 If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to
wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to
the doctrine which accords with godliness, 4 he is proud, knowing
nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words,
from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, 5 useless
wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who
suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw
yourself.

- 12 1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will
come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money,
boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful,
unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self- control,
brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers
of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness
but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ
has both the Father and the Son. 10 If anyone comes to you and does
not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor
greet him; 11 for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds.

sufficient for such a man, 7 so that, on the contrary, you ought
rather to forgive and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be
swallowed up with too much sorrow. 8 Therefore I urge you to
reaffirm your love to him. 9 For to this end I also wrote, that I
might put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all
things.
