Luke 6:41-49 ▼

41 But why do you see the mote which is in the eye of your brother, and do not recognize the beam which is in your own eye?

42 Or how are you able to say to your brother; Brother, permit me, I will cast out the mote which is in thine eye, yourself not seeing the beam which is in your own eye? O hypocrite, first cast out the beam from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to cast out the mote which is in the eye of your brother.

43 For there is no beautiful tree producing corrupt fruit, nor corrupt tree producing beautiful fruit.

44 For every tree is known by its own fruit: for they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather the grape-bunch from the bramble.

45 The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth the good; and the wicked man out of the wicked treasure of his heart brings forth that which is wicked: for out of the abundance of his heart his mouth speaks.

46 But why do you call me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

47 Every one coming to me, and hearing my words, and doing the same, I will show you to whom he is like.

48 He is like unto a man building a house, who dug and went down deep, and laid the foundation upon the rock: and there being a flood, the river broke against that house, and it was not able to shake it; for it was founded on the rock.

49 But the one hearing and not doing, is like unto a man building his house upon the ground without a foundation; against which the river broke, and it fell immediately, and great was the fall of that house.
