Galatians 6:1-5
6:1 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. Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. For each will have to bear his own load. (ESV)
by John J. Pethtel
Be careful not to be lured into the temptations of others. It is easy sometimes to be convinced of the indifference of an activity or belief if there are others (sometimes many others) who participate in this. We are accountable to each other to help carry burdens but not to deceive ourselves that we are greater or lesser than our brethren.
