We exhort you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient toward all.
support the weak: "Weak" is descriptive of a spiritual rather than a physical condition (Romans 14; 1 Corinthians 8). To "support" such an one would be to give him the assurance that he is not alone and that his brethren will stand by him and bolster him when his courage wavers.
