Connecting Statement:

Paul establishes that Christ is speaking through him and that Paul is wanting to restore them, encourage them, and unify them.

Every matter must be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses

Here a "matter" is an accusation. This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "Believe that someone has done something wrong only after two or three people have said the same thing" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive)
