Matthew 18:15

go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone See Leviticus 19:17, where the words "not suffer sin upon him," mean "thou shalt not incur sin through him," i. e. by letting him go on unrebuked in his sin. Tell him his fault, rather, convict him; the same Greek word is translated rebuke, Levit. loc. cit.St Luke has a different Greek word with a similar meaning.

gained i. e. won over to a better mind, to Christ. Cp. 1 Corinthians 9:19-22, and 1 Peter 3:1.
