Do not direct people to where sin may be. Show them where the light ( JESUS) is. Basking people in righteousness keeps them away from sin. Never promote where there is sin as it can influence the sheep that are weak. God will expose all things, so, we need not make exposing sins our focus. God will do this. The time we spend exposing sin is the time we can spend ministering to the people which will protect them from sins; through his blood. Praise Jesus.

PROVERBS 23:4-9
4 Do not wear yourself out in quest of wealth, stop applying your mind to this.
5 Fix your gaze on it, and it is there no longer, for it is able to sprout wings like an eagle that flies off to the sky.
6 Do not eat the food of anyone whose eye is jealous, do not hanker for his delicacies.
7 For what he is really thinking about is himself: ‘Eat and drink,’ he tells you, but his heart is not with you.
8 You will spit out whatever you have eaten and find your compliments wasted.
9 Do not waste words on a fool, who will not appreciate the shrewdness of your remarks

Deuteronomy 18:9-22

9 ‘When you have entered the country given you by Yahweh your God, you must not learn to imitate the detestable practices of the nations there already.
10 There must never be anyone among you who makes his son or daughter pass through the fire of sacrifice, who practises divination, who is soothsayer, augur or sorcerer,
11 weaver of spells, consulter of ghosts or mediums, or necromancer.
12 For anyone who does these things is detestable to Yahweh your God; it is because of these detestable practices that Yahweh your God is driving out these nations before you.
13 ‘You must be faultless in your relationship with Yahweh your God.
14 For these nations whom you are going to dispossess have listened to soothsayers and mediums, but Yahweh your God does not permit you to do this. From among yourselves, from among your own brothers,
15 Yahweh your God will raise up a prophet like me; you will listen to him.
16 This is exactly what you asked Yahweh your God to do — at Horeb, on the day of the Assembly, when you said, “Never let me hear the voice of Yahweh my God or see this great fire again, or I shall die.”
17 Then Yahweh said to me,
18 “What they have said is well said. From their own brothers I shall raise up a prophet like yourself;
19 I shall put my words into his mouth and he will tell them everything I command him. Anyone who refuses to listen to my words, spoken by him in my name, will have to render an account to me.
20 But the prophet who presumes to say something in my name which I have not commanded him to say, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die.”
21 ‘You may be privately wondering, “How are we to tell that a prophecy does not come from Yahweh?”
22 When a prophet speaks in the name of Yahweh and the thing does not happen and the word is not fulfilled, then it has not been said by Yahweh. The prophet has spoken presumptuously. You have nothing to fear from him.’

LUKE 6:27-36
27 ‘But I say this to you who are listening: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who treat you badly.
29 To anyone who slaps you on one cheek, present the other cheek as well; to anyone who takes your cloak from you, do not refuse your tunic.
30 Give to everyone who asks you, and do not ask for your property back from someone who takes it.
31 Treat others as you would like people to treat you.
32 If you love those who love you, what credit can you expect? Even sinners love those who love them.
33 And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit can you expect? For even sinners do that much.
34 And if you lend to those from whom you hope to get money back, what credit can you expect? Even sinners lend to sinners to get back the same amount.
35 Instead, love your enemies and do good to them, and lend without any hope of return. You will have a great reward, and you will be children of the Most High, for he himself is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked.
36 ‘Be compassionate just as your Father is compassionate.
