³ Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

⁴ How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while there is still a beam in your own eye?

⁵ You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
