I am a hypocrite with a diseased heart.

 

If I cannot see the plank in my own eye

but can see the speck in my neighbor's eye,

and in my heart I criticize (judge) that person

while saying with my lips, 'I will help you remove

the speck from your eye because I care about you,'

then I am a hypocrite with a diseased heart

(Ref.: Matthew 7:1-5).

 

 

I must first realize that there is

a plank in my own eye and remove it.

 

As a hypocrite with a diseased heart,

I have failed to see the plank in my own eye

while only noticing the speck in my neighbor's eye.

I must first realize that there is

a plank in my own eye and remove it.

Only then will I be able to clearly see

and remove the speck from my neighbor's eye

(Ref.: Matthew 7:3-5).
