How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me get that tiny speck out of your eye,' when you cannot see the girder in your own eye? You hypocrite! First get the girder out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly how to get out the tiny speck in your brother's eye.

And suppose he answers from inside, 'Stop bothering me; the door is now locked, and my children are packed about me in bed; I cannot get up and give you any.'

So if you cannot do this very little thing, why should you worry about the rest?

Every kind of flesh is different. One kind belongs to men, another to cattle, another to birds, another to fish.

There are heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies, but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is of one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is of another.

One kind of splendor belongs to the sun, another to the moon, and another to the stars; yes, one star differs from another in splendor.

Do not let anybody at all deceive you about this, because that cannot take place until the great revolt occurs and the representative of lawlessness is uncovered, the one who is doomed to destruction,

If we are unfaithful, He remains faithful, for He cannot prove false to Himself."
