It is a call to act. A call to help. A call to serve one another with love. Paul delivered these instructions to help actively restore Christians that were sinning. Paul emphasized the need for tenderness

His arms propelled his skeletal form‚ pushing feebly against the resistance of the tepid water. Gasping‚ he clutched onto the edge of the pool as he completed his timed freestyle lap.

I always thought that the Germans were constantly beating down on Jews‚ and‚ even though they
