Galatians 6:1-6

1 Brothers and sisters, if a person is caught doing something wrong, you who are spiritual should restore someone like this with a spirit of gentleness. Watch out for yourselves so you won’t be tempted too. 2 Carry each other’s burdens and so you will fulfill the law of Christ. 3 If anyone thinks they are important when they aren’t, they’re fooling themselves. 4 Each person should test their own work and be happy with doing a good job and not compare themselves with others. 5 Each person will have to carry their own load. 6 Those who are taught the word should share all good things with their teacher.

Merciful God, may we love our sisters and brothers in Christ to the extent that we are willing to restore them to you when they fall. And grant us the wisdom and compassion to do so in a spirit of gentleness. Amen.
