Admonition and Excommunication

Türkçe

Kilise disiplini, Gücenmiş üyeleri yola getirmek veya geri kazanmak, Başkalarını benzer suçlardan caydırmak, Hamurun tümünü kabartabilecek kötü mayayı temizlemek, Mesih’in onurunu ve Müjdenin kutsal tanıklığını savunmak, Tanrı’nın antlaşmasının ve mühürlerinin kötü ve inatçı kişiler tarafından bayağılaşarak zedelemesi durumunda, Kilisenin üzerine haklı olarak dökülebilecek olan Tanrı’nın öfkesine engel olmak için gereklidir.

English

Church censures are necessary for the reclaiming and gaining of offending brethren; for deterring of others from the like offenses; for purging out of that leaven which might infect the whole lump; for vindicating the honor of Christ, and the holy profession of the gospel; and for preventing the wrath of God, which might justly fall upon the Church, if they should suffer his covenant, and the seals thereof, to be profaned by notorious and obstinate offenders.
