Loving Man - correct in love
Correction is a necessary part of love, never shy away from correcting a fellow Christian having previously instructed him/her. You are showing love by preventing a worse incident when you correct. Of course, it must be done in love.

The where and how of correction matters. Avoid public corrections except when the incident is capable of influencing others who heard or saw it. The goal is always a change of attitude not humiliation. Once you have made the correction, let it end there.
And if you are on the receiving end of a correction, receive it as a sign of love. Don't be so hung up on the way the correction came, see the lesson inherent. You can not always determine how and when you will be corrected, but you can choose to grow from the rebuke.
And never see corrections as judgment or condemnation. It is an opportunity for you to grow. People that truly love you will correct you, it should be your criteria for friendship in fact.
I am not sorry that I sent that severe letter to you, though I was sorry at first, for I know it was painful to you for a little while. Now I am glad I sent it, not because it hurt you, but because the pain caused you to repent and change your ways.
But when Peter came to Antioch, I had to oppose him to his face, for what he did was very wrong.
An open rebuke is better than hidden love! Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy.
