Philippians 3:15-17
All of us who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained. Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you.
The second half of verse 15 says it all: if you simply don't agree on one thing, God will make it clear to you. Paul doesn't say that he must convince you, or even that it's my duty to convince you...he simply says "God will make it clear to you." Paul takes no responsibility for showing another person their faults, just that God will take care of it. I've learned that it would be wise for me to follow Paul's example...let God handle it and make it clear to me, and also to another. :)
