Matthew 7:3-5
Context7:3 Why 1 do you see the speck 2 in your brother’s eye, but fail to see 3 the beam of wood 4 in your own? 7:4 Or how can you say 5 to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye,’ while there is a beam in your own? 7:5 You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
