And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto you as a heathen man and a tax collector.
All Commentaries on Matthew 18:17 Go To Matthew 18
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Tell the church. This not only shows the order of fraternal correction, but also every man's duty in submitting to the judgment of the Church. (Witham)
There cannot be a plainer condemnation of those who make particular creeds, and will not submit the articles of their belief to the judgment of the authority appointed by Christ. (Haydock)
