Correction of Fault a Duty
Matthew 18:15-18
Moreover if your brother shall trespass against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone: if he shall hear you…


He who sees his brother commit a sin and keeps silence, is equally in fault with him who does not forgive him who repents. The very elements teach us the benefit of this correction. For so fire chastises, and by burning purifies the air. The air by the blasts of winds chastises and purifies the water. In like manner, so does the water the earth. There can be no Christian charity in any one unless he afford the medicine of correction to an erring brother.

(Anon.)
