Accuse or Open the eyes?

The Accuser who is the devil is also the TEMPTOR. He tempts us to sin laughing as we stumble and fall... then accuses us before the Father for judgment. Sort of like a bully (giant) spoiled child who is always trying to get his sibling in trouble by setting traps to get the parent to be angry at the one whom the he is jealous of...much like them who hate the teachers pet for doing good. They CA(I)N but aren't ABEL to do right so they try to lower the standards. The flesh always persecutes those of the Spirit and tries to make them fall in the eyes of God.
A true child of God tries to cover the sins of a fallen one by first shedding some Light on the matter to get them to SEE the error of their ways in private, thereby helping them stand Up Right so that they sin no more, before the Father sees the fall and they end up in Hot Water(lake of fire).

Gal 4:29
29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
KJV

The devil comes to tempt us to stumble so that he can STEAL our blessings by causing us to be unfaithful to Christ by lying, cheating, stealing etc.., KILL our families with addictions, perversions, adultery, fornication etc... and Destroy our birthright by continuing a life of sinful behavior so that we do not inherit the kingdom of God.

Gal 5:16-23
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.

That is correct! If they are a brother in Christ, then we must handle it with discretion at first, but if that does not correct the brother, then we take it to 2 or more, next the church authority...lastly cut off the body member that offends least the whole body be thrown out due to contamination.
If we have grown in Christ then we keep in line with the Word and the wicked one can not touch us, for we will have learned the wiles of the devil's temptations.
1 John 5:16-21
16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.
18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
