If your brother sins against you, rebuke him while the two of you are alone . If he listens to you, you have saved your brother. If he does not listen to you, he calls another or two others , so that the whole matter is confirmed by the mouth of two or three witnesses. If he does not listen to them, tell it to the church , and if he does not listen even to the church, consider him as a pagan or a publican.Whatever you forgive someone, I also forgive them . Well, what I have forgiven, if I have to forgive anything, was because of you, having Christ before you Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heavenI also tell you that if two of you agree on earth to ask for something, my Father who is in heaven will give it to you. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I in their midst.
The Lord wanted his Church to be a minister of his forgiveness and his justice. Until then, it was considered that only God could forgive sins, and this was certainly the case. Therefore, when Christ forgave sins while working miracles, they accused him of becoming equal to God. Once Christ gives the apostles the authority to forgive and retain Country Email List sins, it is not that God ceases to be the one who truly forgives. But he wanted to delegate to his Church. And so we see how in 1 Cor 5, Saint Paul goes so far as to affirm about the case of an adulterer who slept with his father's wife:For what I am, absent in body, but present in spirit, I have already made a decision as if I were present: you are gathered together in the name of our Lord Jesus, and I am present in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus deliver the one who has done this into the hands of Satan ; for the destruction of the flesh, so that the spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.
And then he addsIs it my turn to judge outsiders? Is it not those within who you judgeGod will judge those outside. Expel the wicked from among youSo that no one thinks that that sinner was condemned forever, the apostle tells us in 2nd Corinthians how things endedFor I wrote to you with many tears, out of great affliction and anguish of heart; But I didn't do it to make you sad but to show you the special love I have for you. Well, if anyone has caused sadness, he has not caused it to me, but, in a certain way and not to
The corrective that the majority has imposed on this guy is enough; so you had better forgive him and encourage him , lest he sink into excessive sadness.Therefore, I recommend that you confirm your love; I wrote to you precisely for this, to check your temper and see if you obeyed in everything.
