If your brother sins against you, go and confront him privately. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. …

Brothers, if someone is caught in a trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him with a spirit of gentleness. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.

Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

But He gives us more grace. This is why it says: “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”

The wounds of a friend are faithful, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
