The first responsibility of those who are spiritual is the restoration of one who has sinned. Pauls conditional clause, if someone is caught in a sin, is framed in such a way as to point to the high probability that members of the church will sin. Sin in the church is not a hypothetical possibility, it is a reality. Paul and his readers both knew of believers in the church who had been trapped by sin. The kind of sin in view here is not specified by Paul in Galatians 6:1. It could be any one of the acts of the sinful nature (5:19-21). Paul is more concerned about the manner in which sinners in the church are treated than in the sin itself.
