Dear brethren, if any man be overawed in any fault, restore him with a gentle spirit, ye that are spiritual. And look to yourselves, lest you also be tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and you will fulfill the law of Christ. But if any man think himself to be anything, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
