Bear One Another’s Burdens

6 My brothers and sisters, if anyone is detected in a transgression, you who have received the Spirit should restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness. Take care that you yourselves are not tempted. ² Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill^[a] the law of Christ.^(A)

¹⁹ My brothers and sisters, if anyone among you wanders from the truth^[a] and is brought back by another, ²⁰ you should know that whoever brings back a sinner from wandering will save the sinner’s^[b] soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.^(A)

⁶ This punishment by the majority is enough for such a person;^{(A) 7} so now instead you should forgive and console him, so that he may not be overwhelmed by even worse grief.

⁶ The Lord said to the accuser,^[a] “Very well, he is in your power; only spare his life.”^(A)

¹⁰ So I write these things while I am away from you, so that when I come I may not have to be severe in using the authority that the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing down.^(A)

⁶ We are ready to punish every disobedience when your obedience is complete.^(A)

³² But when we are judged by the Lord, we are disciplined^[a] so that we may not be condemned along with the world.^(A)
