And why do thou see the speck in thy brother's eye, but do not perceive the beam in thine own eye?
42 Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, permit me to take off the mote which is on thine eye, not seeing thyself the beam in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite! cast out the beam which is in thine eye, and then shalt thou see distinctly to take off the mote which is in thy brother’s eye.

43 For there is no good tree which produceth fruit of a bad quality; neither doth a tree of a bad sort produce good fruit.
For a good tree is not producing corrupt fruit, nor a corrupt tree producing good fruit.

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

Every man who comes to me, and hears my sayings, and does them, I will show you to whom he is like.

But he who heard, and not having done, is like a man who built a house upon the soil without a foundation, on which the stream beat, and straightaway it fell. And the ruin of that house became great.
