Matthew 7:4

Judging Others

3Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?4How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while there is still a beam in your own eye?5You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
