¹⁵ Don't count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

¹⁴ We exhort you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient toward all.

¹ Brothers, even if a man is caught in some fault, you who are spiritual must restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; looking to yourself so that you also aren't tempted.

¹⁰ Avoid a factious man after a first and second warning;

¹⁵ "If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.

²² On some have compassion, making a distinction,

²³ and some save, snatching them out of the fire with fear, hating even the clothing stained by the flesh.

¹⁹ Brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth, and someone turns him back,

²⁰ let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death, and will cover a multitude of sins.

¹⁰ For this cause I write these things while absent, that I may not deal sharply when present, according to the authority which the Lord gave me for building up, and not for tearing down.

⁸ For though I should boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down) I will not be disappointed,

⁹ For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.

¹⁰ Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

¹⁴ I don't write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

¹² As an ear-ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, So is a wise reprover to an obedient ear.

⁹ Instruct a wise man, and he will be still wiser. Teach a righteous man, and he will increase in learning.

⁵ Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; Let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; Don't let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.

¹⁷ "'You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.

¹⁸ You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people; but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am Yahweh.
