Friends - handling disagreements Jesus’ way

Matthew 18:15 “If a fellow believer hurts you, go and tell him - work it out between the two of you. If he listens, you've made a friend.” Step 1 - I need to talk to them

Matthew 18:16 “If he won't listen, take one or two others along so that the presence of witnesses will keep things honest, and try again.” Step 2 - Take a witness

Matthew 18:17 “If he refuses to listen to them, report the matter to the church.” Step 3 - Take it to the church

1 Corinthians 6:1 When one of you has a complaint against another, do you take your complaint to a court of sinners? Or do you take it to God's people?...Aren't any of you wise enough to act as a judge between one follower and another?

Step 4 - Separate the rebellious Matthew 18:17 “Anyone who refuses to listen to the church must be treated like an unbeliever or a tax collector.”

1 Corinthians 5:9 I have written to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people - not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a believer but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a person do not even eat.

If someone wrongs me: Step 1 - I need to talk to them. Step 2 - Take a witness. Step 3 - Take it to the church. Step 4 - Separate the rebellious.
