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).
