My beloved friends, if you see a believer who is overtaken with a fault, may the one who overflows with the Spirit seek to restore him. Win him over with gentle words, which will open his heart to you and will keep you from exalting yourself over him.
Galatians 6:1 (TPT)
John 12:24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit."

An interesting charge. The one who overflows with the Spirit.
Thank you for this post, Reverend.
As long as it makes the reader think about what the Word says, then I've done my job. You're welcome, Linda. :)
"Gentle words". I wish more people would remember this more often (including myself).
Gentle words work. More need to remember that!
TB & NFO - amen! One of America's greatest failings in the modern era is the loss of respect for others, and the unfiltered language which vomits from our mouths. There can be no reconciliation when the goal is to see how deeply we can wound and insult the others around us.
