I opened the Jerusalem Bible the other day and read something about saving sinners. It said about if you fail, or they fail twice then you should leave them there. Can anybody tell me where i saw this? I cant remember whether it was old or new testement. Thank you, Tom.

Not sure is this is the right one ,but it just came to mind .
“Into whatever city or village YOU enter, search out who in it is deserving, and stay there until YOU leave. When YOU are entering into the house, greet the household; and if the house is deserving, let the peace YOU wish it come upon it; but if it is not deserving, let the peace from YOU return upon YOU. Wherever anyone does not take YOU in or listen to YOUR words, on going out of that house or that city shake the dust off YOUR feet. Truly I say to YOU, It will be more endurable for the land of Sod′om and Go·mor′rah on Judgment Day than for that city.matthew 10;11-15
but maybe i am barking up the wrong tree
Take my advice and let it go... There is no such thing....
Want to know what happens to sinners? (That's everyone mind you).
In the Judgment, God will teach us...
...for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. (Isaiah 26:9)
