Galatians 6:1 ” Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently.”

“Restore him gently.” The word for restore means to repair a ripped fishing net. The word gently we usually think of meekness, but the Greek word for this was defined by Aristotle as, “Getting angry at the right time, in the right measure, for the right reason.” So to restore someone gently then means that we are able to return the person to a productive life…hating the sin, but loving the sinner throughout the process.
