Matthew 18:17 *And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and the publican.

1 Corinthians 5:9.; 2 Thessalonians 3:14.
Tell the church. This not only shews 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)
