If another member of the church sins against you, go and point out the fault when the two of you are alone (Matthew 18:15; NRSV).
So then, putting away all falsehood, let all of us speak the truth to our neighbours, for we are members of one another. Be angry but do not sin (Ephesians 4:25-6; NRSV).
We will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ (Ephesians 4:15; NLT).
Do not judge others, and you will not be judged (Matthew 7:1; NLT).

Lord,
When I have to speak
With painful honesty,
Trying to do the best I can,
In love,
How folk respond
Is wholly up to them –
I can’t control
Their judgement or rejection.
