- Remember that we are all subject to failings of one kind or another.
- Bear with, and not magnify, each other’s infirmities.
- Pray for one another in our meetings, and particularly in private.
- Avoid going from house to house for the purpose of bearing bad news and interfering with other people’s business.
- Always turn a deaf ear to any slanderous report and lay no charge against any person until well founded.
- If a member is in fault, tell him of it in private, before it is mentioned to several other people.
- Be careful of avoiding someone because of some action that has the appearance of opposition or resentment.
- If a member has offended, consider how godlike it is to forgive, and how unlike a Christian it is to seek revenge.
- Remember that it is a giant deception of the devil to promote animosities among members of the church; do not let him succeed.
- Consider how much more good we can do in the world and in the church in particular, when we are all united in love.
