two examples but this question could be answered with multiple gospels...
Matthew 5:38-40
38Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
Matthew 5:43-45
43Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

The Old Testament preferred method was stoning and hanging them from a tree, or you could bleed them out in an atonement sacrifice to Yahweh. Another timeworn tested New Testament era method is to torture a confession of witchcraft or heresy and burn the offenders alive. Afterward according to scripture you could rape their women then cut their throats or draw and quarter them for the crime of harlotry. When that's done kill all their pets and livestock, torch the houses and don't forget to drown their weeping children.

Forgive one another like Christ forgave us our sins and cast them far from us. Bless those who curse you. Do good to those who dispitefully use you.
If a Christian is living in adultery and wont repent. Turn person over to satan for the destruction of the flesh so persons spirit is saved in Gods timing.

Depends on the type of offense.

Luke 17:3
Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.

Be defensive. Attack their foundations with uneducated words. Tell them discouraging things. Show a venomous attitude when questioned.
It isn't what is written that makes Him visible, it is what's shown. This is what we see. too often.
