Jesus teaches how to restore a sinning brother
Jesus instructed disciples to address a brother's sin privately first, then with witnesses, and finally before the church if necessary. He joined this discipline to prayer and His presence among those gathered in His name (Matthew 18:15-20).

📖 Matthew 18:15–17
15If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. 16But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ 17If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, regard him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
