Luke 6:41

And why do you behold the speck that is in your brother’s eye, and do not consider the beam that [is] in your own eye?

Literal Standard Version

In The King James Version

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

In Context

40A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone perfected will be as his teacher.

42Or how are you able to say to your brother, Brother, permit, I may take out the speck that [is] in your eye—yourself not beholding the beam in your own eye? Hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that [is] in your brother’s eye.
