41 And why do you behold the speck that is in your brother’s eye, and do not consider the beam that [is] in your own eye?
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
42 Or how are you able to say to your brother, Brother, permit, I may take out the speck that [is] in your eye—yourself not beholding the beam in your own eye? Hypocrite, first take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that [is] in your brother’s eye.
Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me cast out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye.
43 For there is not a good tree making bad fruit, nor a bad tree making good fruit;
For there is no good tree that bringeth forth corrupt fruit; nor again a corrupt tree that bringeth forth good fruit.
44 for each tree is known from its own fruit, for they do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they crop a grape from a bramble.
For each tree is known by its own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes.

46 And why do you call Me, Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say?
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
47 Everyone who is coming to Me, and is hearing My words, and is doing them, I will show you to whom he is like:
Every one that cometh unto me, and heareth my words, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like:
48 he is like to a man building a house, who dug and deepened, and laid a foundation on the rock, and a flood having come, the stream broke forth on that house, and was not able to shake it, for it had been founded on the rock.
he is like a man building a house, who digged and went deep, and laid a foundation upon the rock: and when a flood arose, the stream brake against that house, and could not shake it: because it had been well builded.
49 And he who heard and did not, is like to a man having built a house on the earth, without a foundation, against which the stream broke forth, and immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house became great.”
But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man that built a house upon the earth without a foundation; against which the stream brake, and straightway it fell in; and the ruin of that house was great.
