GospeL Verses ~ Matthew 18:12-20
12 - “What do you suppose?” Jesus asked. “What if a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders astray, won’t he leave the ninety-nine on the hillside and go in search of the one that has gotten lost? 13 And if he finds it, truly, I tell you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine not having gone astray. 14 So you see, it is not the will of my Father in heaven to lose any (misled) little one. (Misled is the context.)
15 “If your brother should sin against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and he alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he doesn’t listen, take one or two others with you, that every claim may be established by two or three witnesses. 17 If he still refuses to listen, tell it to the group. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as an outsider and a tax collector. 18 Truly, I tell you, what you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and what you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19 Again I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there with them.”

From New Testament Letters
(In the Order Believed Written)
~ Romans 16:13-27 ~
13 - Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, also his mother, who has been a mother to me as well. (Isn’t that the way..🙂) 14 Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers who are with them. 15 Greet Philologus, Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them. 16 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.
17 I appeal to you, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles. Obstacles (for others) which contradict the doctrine you have been taught. (The “new and living way of life in the Spirit”.) Avoid them. 18 For such persons don’t serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetite (for prominence and a ‘follow me’ stature). By plausible words and conferring praise they deceive the hearts of the naive [akakos - guileless, innocent, naive]. 19 For your obedience is known to all! So that I rejoice over you! But I want you to be wise as to what is good, and innocent to what is evil. 20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
21 Timothy, my fellow worker, greets you, as do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen. 22 And I Tertius, who wrote this letter for Paul, greet you in the Lord. 23 Gaius, who is host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer, and our brother Quartus, also greet you.
25 Now to he who is able to strengthen you according to this good news, and according to the proclamation of Jesus Christ. By the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages, 26 but now according to the will and command of the eternal God, has been revealed to all nations through the prophetic writings, in order to bring about the obedience of faith. 27 To the one wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen.
