Matthew 7:3–5
Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye? / How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while there is still a beam in your own eye? / You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
Matthew 23:3, 4
So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. / They tie up heavy, burdensome loads and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
Romans 2:1, 21–23
You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. / you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? / You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?
