Luke 6:41-49 ▼

41 And why do you look at the splinter that is in the eye of your brother, but not notice the beam that is in your own eye?

42 How are you able to say to your brother, ‘Brother, permit that I might cast out the splinter that is in your eye,’ yourself not seeing the beam in your eye? Hypocrite! First cast out the beam from your eye, and then you will see clearly to cast out the splinter that is in the eye of your brother.

43 For there is no good tree producing rotten fruit, nor again a rotten tree producing good fruit.

44 For each tree is known by its own fruit. For they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a bramble bush.

45 The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good, and the evil out of the evil brings forth what is evil. For out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.

46 And why do you? call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I say?

47 Everyone who is coming to Me and hearing My words and doing them, I will show you? whom he is like.

48 He is like a man building a house, who dug and deepened and laid a foundation on the rock. And a flood having come, the river burst upon that house, and it was not able to shake it, because it was well built.

49 But the one having heard and not having done is like a man having built a house on the ground without a foundation, on which the river burst, and immediately it fell—and the ruin of that house was great!”
