[FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]Monday, June 24 [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] [/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]The one covering over transgression is seeking love, and he[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] that keeps talking about a matter[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]is separating those familiar[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] with one another.—Prov. 17:9.[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] If a Christian becomes aware of[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] a serious sin on the part of a fellow[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] believer, he should encourage[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]that one to confess the sin to the[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] elders. [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif](1 Cor. 6:9, 10; Jas. 5:14-16)[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif][/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] If the wrongdoer does not do so,[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] the Christian who has come to[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] know about the sin should report[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]it. Failure to do this in a mistaken[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] effort to maintain peace[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] with the sinner makes one a party[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]to the wrongdoing. [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif](Lev. 5:1; Prov. 29:24) [/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]However, most disputes[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] between brothers do not involve[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]serious wrongdoing that requires[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] judicial action. How good[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] it is, therefore, lovingly to cover[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] over the mistakes of others. Complying[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]with the words of our text[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] for the day will help all of us to[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] preserve peace in the congregation[/FONT] [FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]and maintain a good relationship[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif] with Jehovah.[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma, sans-serif]—Matt. 6:14, 15.
