Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. (Ga 6:1)​

Paul tells people "who are siritual" to restore others who have been overtaken in any trespass. Who are these spiritual people and how do they determine that they qualify?
