Note to Readers

Dear Reader

In this issue of The Watchtower, we will feature five study articles that consider the following closely related questions:

• First, what arrangement did Jehovah put in place to help his human sons and daughters to combat sin?

• Second, how has he taught us what genuine repentance is and how has he helped sinners to repent?

• Third, how was the congregation in Corinth instructed to handle a willful, unrepentant sinner?

• Fourth, how should Christian elders today handle cases of serious sin?

• Fifth, after an unrepentant sinner has been removed from the congregation, how can the congregation continue to treat him in a loving and merciful way?
