Luke 6:41-49

41 And why do you see the speck [that is] in your brother's eye, but do not notice the beam of wood [that is] in your own eye?
42 How are you able to say to your brother, "Brother, allow [me] to remove the speck [that is] in your eye," [while] you yourself do not see the beam of wood in your [own] eye? Hypocrite! First remove the beam of wood from your [own] eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck [that is] in your brother's eye!

The Sermon on the Plain: Trees and Their Fruit

43 "For there is no good tree that produces bad fruit, nor on the other hand a bad tree that produces good fruit,
44 for each tree is known by its own fruit. For figs are not gathered from thorn plants, nor are grapes harvested from thorn bushes.
45 The good person out of the good treasury of his heart brings forth good, and the evil person out of [his] evil [treasury] brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
46 "And why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I tell [you]?

The Sermon on the Plain: Two Houses and Two Foundations

47 "Everyone who comes to me and listens to my words and does them--I will show you what he is like:
48 he is like a man building a house, who dug and went down deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And [when] a flood came, the river burst against that house and was not able to shake it, because it had been built well.
49 But the one who hears [my words] and does not do [them] is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation, which the river burst against, and immediately it collapsed--and the collapse of that house was great!"
