The Sermon On The Plain: Trees And Their Fruit
42 How can you say to your brother, "Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you don't see the beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! First remove the beam from your own eye, and then you'll see clearly enough to remove the speck from your brother's eye." 43 "A good tree doesn't produce rotten fruit, and a rotten tree doesn't produce good fruit, 44 because every tree is known by its own fruit. People don't gather figs from thorny plants or pick grapes from a thorn bush.
