Footnote

a Sexual immorality is not tolerated among Jehovah’s Witnesses, just as it was not tolerated among Christians in the first century. (1 Corinthians 5:11-13) Nevertheless, erring ones can gain the assistance of loving congregation elders. (James 5:14, 15) By repenting of their wrong course of conduct, such ones can enjoy the forgiveness of both God and the Christian congregation.
