41Why do you see the speck of chaff that is in your brother`s eye, but don`t consider the beam that is in your own eye?
42Or how can you tell your brother, `Brother, let me remove the speck of chaff that is in your eye,` when you yourself don`t see the beam that is in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck of chaff that is in your brother`s eye.
43For there is no good tree that brings forth rotten fruit; nor again a rotten tree that brings forth good fruit.

45The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.
46Why do you call me, `Lord, Lord,` and don`t do the things which I say?
