Verse 19
‘And one convert him (cause him to turn round).’
It is to be the concern of every brother that if he sees one of his brothers straying, he be concerned to ‘turn him round’. They are to feed and tend the sheep. That was not to encourage them to be busybodies and intrusive in men’s lives, but in order to encourage them to prayerful and practical concern for the whole body of His people and their wellbeing (compare James 5:16). They were to watch out for each other, not critically, but prayerfully and with humility (compare Galatians 6:1-2).
