Matthew 18:15 “If your brother sins [against you], go, tell
him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained
your brother. 16 But if he will not listen, take one or two others along with
you, so that ‘every matter may be established by the word of two or three
witnesses.’
Each should reprove his fellow in truth, in humility, and in
loving-kindness. He should not speak to him in anger or grumbling or wicked arrogance.
He must not hate him in his heart. Instead, he is to rebuke him that same day
so that he is not liable for sin. And let no man bring a public charge against
his fellow unless he has rebuked him before witnesses. (Dead Sea Scrolls -
1QRule of the Community (1QS) Col. V 25 - Col. VI 1)
