Context7:3 Why 2 do you see the speck 3 in your brother’s eye, but fail to see 4 the beam of wood 5 in your own? 7:4 Or how can you say 6 to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye,’ while there is a beam in your own?
1 tn Or “if your eye is sick” (L&N 23.149).
sn There may be a slight wordplay here, as this term can also mean “evil,” so the figure uses a term that points to the real meaning of being careful as to what one pays attention to or looks at.
2 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
3 sn The term translated speck refers to a small piece of wood, chaff, or straw; see L&N 3.66.
