O God, you have bound us together in a common life.
Help us, in the midst of our struggles for justice and truth,
to confront one another without hatred or bitterness,
and to work together with mutual forbearance and respect,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
ECUSA Book of Common Prayer

If another believer sins against you, go privately and point out the offense.
