15 “Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone.

But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.

Mark 4:26-29 NASB

26 And He was saying, “The kingdom of God is like a man who casts seed upon the soil; 27 and he goes to bed at night and gets up daily, and the seed sprouts and grows—how, he himself does not know. 28 The soil produces crops by itself; first the stalk, then the head, then the mature grain in the head. 29 Now when the crop permits, he immediately [i]puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
