Summary
Well, today we're going to study about something that will might be a challenging blessing to leave because it comes right up against the comfort zone. And so my brothers and sisters, if anyone is detected in a transgression, another interesting word there, that word detected means to be caught in.

No, he's addressing the entire church, entire body of believers because they all have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them because they have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. They were overtaken by it, but the church was looking the other way and Paul was calling them to love this person, to the extent of moving to restore that person, to reveal to that person that what they were doing was against the desires of God, to call them to repentants, to the point that even if there wasn't repentance to remove that person from the body, so they would understand the seriousness of the sin, so that by God's grace they might be led to repentance. Our call, our call to restore, our call to bear the burden, including the sinfulness of the other that is caught in the sin, where we bear the burden by coming around them.
