mercy with caution

Jude 1:22-23

Jude 1:22 Have mercy on those who waver;
Jude 1:23 save others by snatching them from the fire; have mercy on others but with fear, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.

Jude wanted his readers to show mercy to those who are straying, but to do so with caution because sin defiles.

Those involved in rescuing people have to be cautious themselves because they also are in danger.
