It is an act of charity to correct sinners.
Would it not be great cruelty to see a blind man walking on the brink of a precipice, and not admonish him of his danger, in order to preserve him from temporal death?
It would be far greater cruelty to neglect, for the sake of avoiding a little trouble, to deliver a brother from eternal death.
