“Why do you look at the speck
that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own
eye? 4 “Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of
your eye,’ and behold, the log is in your own eye? 5 “You hypocrite, first
take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the
speck out of your brother’s eye.

finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 “Or what man is there
among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone? 10 “Or
if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he? 11 “If you
then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much
more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask
Him!

few who find it.
