NASB | Galatians 6:1 Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Galatians 6:1 Brothers, if anyone is caught in any sin, you who are spiritual [that is, you who are responsive to the guidance of the Spirit] are to restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness [not with a sense of superiority or self-righteousness], keeping a watchful eye on yourself, so that you are not tempted as well. |
Bible Question: restoration in gentleness do we really know what this means? |
Bible Answer: Restore neans to make something useful again when it has been broken or damaged. In these verses Paul is using it to refer to someone who is an alleged sinner. Here the spiritual are exhorted to bring the brother back to his rightful place of fellowship in the body. This is to be done in a spirit of meekness not in an attitude of vain glory or a "better than thou" attitude. We are called to restore the gentleness to that person that sin takes away. prayon |
