³ Why do you look at the splinter in your brother’s eye but don’t notice the beam of wood in your own eye?^{(A) 4} Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the splinter out of your eye,’ and look, there’s a beam of wood in your own eye? ⁵ Hypocrite! First take the beam of wood out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take the splinter out of your brother’s eye.

¹² Therefore, whatever you want others to do for you, do also the same for them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.^(A)
