Such a one

Hi. In Galatians 6:1 of the New American Standard Bible, it is stated:

Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted.

Can we replace the phrase "such a one" with the phrase "such a person" without any discernable difference? How about "such one"? Can we use that phrase instead of "such a one" without any discernable difference in meaning? Thank you in advance for your help.
