Verses 15-17: "Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the ecclesia: but if he neglect to hear the ecclesia, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican."
Christ sets forth the three steps -
(1) "go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone" (2) "take with thee one or two more" (3) "tell it unto the ecclesia"
The goal of these being, "if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother."
