Lesning

Esekiel 33: 7-9

33:7 Og når det gjelder deg, menneskesønn, Jeg har satt deg til vekter for Israels hus. Derfor, etter å ha hørt ordet fra min munn, du skal forkynne det for dem fra meg.

33:8 Når jeg sier til de ugudelige, Den ugudelige mannen, du vil dø en død,’ hvis du ikke har talt for at den ugudelige skal holde seg fra veien, da skal den ugudelige mann dø for sin misgjerning. Men jeg vil tillegge hans blod til din hånd.

33:9 Men hvis du har kunngjort den ugudelige mannen, så han kan omvende seg fra sine veier, og han har ikke omvendt seg fra sin vei, da skal han dø for sin misgjerning. Likevel vil du ha frigjort din egen sjel.

Romans 13:8-10

You should owe nothing to anyone, except so as to love one another. For whoever loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

13:9 For eksempel: You shall not commit adultery. You shall not kill. You shall not steal. You shall not speak false testimony. You shall not covet. And if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this word: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

13:10 The love of neighbor does no harm. Derfor, love is the plenitude of the law.

18:15 But if your brother has sinned against you, go and correct him, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you will have regained your brother.

18:16 But if he will not listen you, invite with you one or two more, so that every word may stand by the mouth of two or three witnesses.

18:17 And if he will not listen to them, tell the Church. But if he will not listen to the Church, let him be to you like the pagan and the tax collector.

18:18 Amen I say to you, whatever you will have bound on earth, shall be bound also in heaven, and whatever you will have released on earth, shall be released also in heaven.

18:19 Again I say to you, that if two of those among you have agreed on earth, about anything whatsoever that they have requested, it shall be done for them by my Father, hvem er i himmelen.
