Matthew 18:15-18 Moreover if your brother shall trespass against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone: if he shall hear you… A person came one day to see Mr. Longdon, of Sheffield, and said, "I have something against you, and I am come to tell you of it." "Do walk in, sir," he replied; "you are my best friend. If I could but engage my friends to be faithful with me, I shall be sure to prosper. But, if you please, we will both pray in the first place, and ask the blessing of God upon our interview." After they rose from their knees, and had been much blessed together, he said, "Now I will thank you, my brother, to tell me what it is you have against me." "Oh," said the man, "I really don't know what it is; it is all gone, and I believe I was in the wrong!" (Anon.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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. |
