_ _ the truth — the Gospel doctrine and precepts.

_ _ one — literally, “any”; as “any” before. Everyone ought to seek the salvation of everyone [Bengel].

As if he had said, I have now warned you of those sins to which you are most liable; and, in all these respects, watch not only over yourselves, but every one over his brother also. Labour, in particular, to recover those that are fallen. If any one err from the truth — Practically, by sin.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

James 5:19

(12) Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one (k) convert him;

(12) The taking away of an objection: all rebukes are not condemned, seeing that on the contrary there is nothing more acceptable to God than to call into the holy way, a brother that was wandering out of the way.

(k) Has called him back from his way.
