Luke 18:13

The Parable Of The Pharisee And The Tax Collector

¹² I fast twice in the week, I tithe everything I gain. ¹³ And the tax-gatherer, standing afar off, would not lift up even his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, have compassion on me, the sinner. ¹⁴ I say unto you, This man went down to his house justified rather than that other. For every one who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

Be Merciful
