“Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.”
Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. — Paul calls for 'katartizō' (restore, mend) those 'prolambanō en tini paraptōmati' (overtaken in transgression); restoration is the Spirit-community's work, executed 'en pneumati prautētos' (in spirit of gentleness), with a caution against self-righteous judgment lest the restorer fall into temptation.
