The exhortations are very general: rebuke one another with all authority. These sorts of things. There's a recurring idea that we're supposed to hold each other to standards of righteous living, that we have an obligation to speak up if someone is astray.
I have friends that believe this wholeheartedly, and "rebuke" to the point that it's little more than self-righteous meddling. So, I was wondering if y'all have feelings on the subject, and if you've ever taken a friend aside and said, "hey, I'm concerned that you're starting to X."
