Matthew 18:17
Douay-Rheims
And if he will not hear them: tell the church. And if he will not hear the church, let him be to thee as the heathen and publican.
Jerome
That He says, As a heathen and a publican, shews that he is to be more abhorred, who under the name of a believer does the deeds of an unbeliever, than those that are openly gentiles. Those He calls publicans, who pursue worldly gain, and levy contributions by trading, cheating, and villainous frauds, and perjuries.
