CommentJohn ChrysostomPublic domainMatthew 18:15–17

Yet the Lord enjoins nothing of this sort to be observed towards those who are without the Church, such as He does in reproving a brother. Of those that are without He says, “If any smite thee on the one cheek, offer to him the other also.” [Matt 5:39] as Paul speaks, “What have I to do to judge them that are without?” [1 Cor 5:12]

But brethren he bids us reprove, and turn away from.
