Galatians 6:1 (ESV)
Brothers,if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.
*It is important that the body of Christ learns to properly correct people by assisting them, and not persecuting others. We are not here to condemn people, but to walk in love to show them the way. Even more so, we must not criticize because we are no different from others, and have the potential to fall short in that same area. As we guide people, we must also prepare our hearts and minds not to be tempted or circum to the pressure the other person is experiencing. God takes on the burden. You are only meant to be the vessel that influences the situation positively. If you are thinking about helping someone and believe you may fall short while doing so, you should definitely speak with God and see if that circumstance is even an assignment for you in the first place. Even more so, consult with God on how you go about your actions. Remember, we should never leave people in a mess as we are our brother's keeper. However, we must also ask God to order our steps because we don't want to be caught up in a mess either. Be discreet as well..boasting about what you do or talking about someone isn't helping the issue either. Enjoy your day.
