"I do not write these things to shame you, but as my beloved children I warn you." 1 Corinthians 4:14

In Paul's letter to the Corinthians he addresses many issues they were having with sin and ignorance. He lets them know that he is correcting them out of love, and he has no intentions to shame them or bring condemnation on them. Paul corrected the Corinthians so that they could grow in Christ, becoming a mature believer.

Judging is a Biblical principle taught throughout the Bible. The Christian is taught to judge, but the purpose for judging is to help our brothers and sisters who may have gone astray, or who are still infants in Christ. Judging is to be done out of love for our brethren, and not to bring shame and condemnation on them. If you find a brother or sister in Christ who has fallen restore them in love, that they may rise up and become all God intended for them to be.

"Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." Galatians 6:1-2
