Galatians 6:1
The Message Bible translation of this verse says: "Live creatively, friends. If someone falls into sin, forgivingly restore him, saving your critical comments for yourself. You might be needing forgiveness before the day's out." I prefer this version because it's a painful reminder of our own faults, and our own need for forgiveness on a daily basis.

Gotta check out this Message Bible. "Live Creatively.." it really said that? How true that it takes more creativity to excuse someone than to simply react with blame and criticism.
Regarding the "our need for forgiveness part", I believe it's already been dealt with by a very creative God who's already forgiven us. No need to remind ourselves about it.
