“A brother asked an elder: ‘If I see my brother fall into sin, is it good to hide his sin?’ The Elder answered: ‘When, out of love, we hide the sin of our brother, then God also hides our sins; but when we reveal our brother’s sin before others, then God also makes our sins known to people.’” – from the Ancient Patericon*, 9.9
