Or how wilt thou say to thy brother,
Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
Matthew 7:5
"As soon as a man is overtaken in a fault, the duty of each one is - not straightway to talk to somebody about him, nor even to go directly to the erring one himself, but - to ask himself,

Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
Matthew 7:5
"As soon as a man is overtaken in a fault, the duty of each one is - not straightway to talk to somebody about him, nor even to go directly to the erring one himself, but - to ask himself,
How do I stand?
Am I not guilty, if not of the same thing, of something equally bad? May it not even be that some fault in me has led to his fall?
Am I walking in the Spirit, so that I could restore him, and not drive him further away?
This would result in a complete reformation in the church, and it might well be that by the time the others had got into condition to go to the faulty one, he might also have recovered himself from the snare of the devil."E.J.Waggoner
