(Isaiah 35:3)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.
(Galatians 6:1) Better to restore than to condemn

It is easier to restore than to condemn when we recognize our true condition before God.
