41. And why dost thou behold the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but not perceive the beam that is in thine own eye?
42. Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself dost not behold the beam that is in thine own eye? Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye.
43. For a good tree does not bring forth corrupt fruit; neither does a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
44. For every tree is known by its own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush do they gather grapes.
