Matthew 7

3 So why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 Or how will you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye,’ when hey, there is a plank in yours? 5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.*Can you have a ‘plank’ in your eye without knowing it? (The tiniest bit of grit is an unbearable irritant.) When a person does not want to admit or correct his own failures, it is standard defensive procedure to call attention to the failures of others.
