Shame used badly only does half of this. It only tells people they have moved beyond the boundaries of the group; it offers no path of restoration. It offers no hope. It pushes out, rather than pulls back. People who have experienced this misuse of shame can be crushed or become hardened. Paul does not endorse any use of shame that causes someone or some people to be devalued, disgraced, or unwanted. The Bible calls this condemnation, not shame. Shame used properly provides a path of restoration.
