Matthew 18:16-18
Amplified Bible
16 But if he does not listen, take along with you one or two others, so that every word may be confirmed by the testimony of two or three witnesses. 17 If he pays no attention to them [refusing to listen and obey], tell it to the [a]church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile (unbeliever) and a tax collector.(A) 18 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, whatever you bind [forbid, declare to be improper and unlawful] on earth [b]shall have [already] been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose [permit, declare lawful] on earth [c]shall have [already] been loosed in heaven.(B)
