Luke 6:42

How can you say to your brother,
'Brother, let me remove the splinter (stick, sawdust, grain) from your eye',
when you yourself do not see the beam in your own eye?
You hypocrite [who does not practice what you preach but "judges under a theatrical mask" (Gk. hypokrites, from hypo – under and krino – to judge/distinguish), i.e., acts hypocritically]!
First remove the beam from your own eye,
then you will see clearly and remove the speck from your brother's eye. [This parable is related to the previous one, as both the speck and the beam are causes of blindness. Anyone who checks another person's vision must have better vision than the person they are helping. Anyone who removes a speck must first have removed the beam from his own eye. Before you judge/assess someone else, examine yourself first. A leader must have greater spiritual clarity than his students. He must himself practice the truths he teaches.]
