Doing Good to All

6 Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit^(A) should restore^(B) that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted.

15 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak^(A) and not to please ourselves.

¹⁵ Yet do not regard them as an enemy, but warn them as you would a fellow believer.^(A)

²⁵ Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth,^(A)

¹⁹ My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth^(A) and someone should bring that person back,^{(B) 20} remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save^(C) them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.^(D)

²² Be merciful to those who doubt; ²³ save others by snatching them from the fire;^(A) to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.^[a](B)

¹⁶ If you see any brother or sister commit a sin that does not lead to death, you should pray and God will give them life.^(A) I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death.^(B) I am not saying that you should pray about that.^(C)

¹³ “Make level paths for your feet,”^[a](A) so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.^(B)

⁷ Now instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him,^(A) so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

The Weak and the Strong

14 Accept the one whose faith is weak,^(A) without quarreling over disputable matters.
