Rule 9: How We are to Feel Towards Him that Sins and Does Not Repent. (R. 28)
As the Lord commanded saying:1 ‘And if he refuse to hear the Church also, let him be to thee as the Gentile and the publican,” and as the apostle taught: “‘That ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which they received of us.”2
