My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
Confusing "judging" with a call of "rebuke" is pretty typical for those who hate to hear that they are sinners in need of a savior. Judging is reserved for God.
James 5: 19-20
