41Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?
42How can you say, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while you yourself fail to see the beam in your own eye? You 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.
43No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit.
44For each tree is known by its own fruit. Indeed, figs are not gathered from thornbushes, nor grapes from brambles.
45The good man brings good things out of the good treasure of his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil treasure of his heart. For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.
46Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ but not do what I say?
— Luke 6:40-46
