1 Brothers (= Fellow believers; = My family)!
Even if a person (or: human)
may be at some point overtaken (caught; laid hold of before; be surprised)
within the effect of some slip or falling to the side (or: the result of some offense, lapse or mistake),
you folks – the spiritual ones (the people influenced by the Breath-effect and Attitude) –
repeatedly (or: continuously)
adjust, mend or repair such a one so as to thoroughly prepare and equip him, within a spirit of gentle friendliness (attitude of meekness; breath of mildness),
as you each are constantly keeping a watchful eye on yourself (carefully noting yourself with regard to the goal),
and so you folks may not at some point be put to the proof (or: and you, yourself, would not be tried, tested or harassed by some ordeal).
