Matthew 18:13

Read in context

Matthew 18:12–15 · Berean Standard Bible

12 What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost?

13 And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he rejoices more over that one sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray.

14 In the same way, your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.

15 If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
