Unchecked Copy BoxMat 7:3 - Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye, but fail to see the beam of wood in your own?
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 7:4 - Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye,' while there is a beam in your own?

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 7:18 - A good tree is not able to bear bad fruit, nor a bad tree to bear good fruit.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 7:19 - Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.

Unchecked Copy BoxMat 7:25 - The rain fell, the flood came, and the winds beat against that house, but it did not collapse because it had been founded on rock.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 7:26 - Everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 7:27 - The rain fell, the flood came, and the winds beat against that house, and it collapsed; it was utterly destroyed!"
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 7:28 - When Jesus finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed by his teaching,
Unchecked Copy BoxMat 7:29 - because he taught them like one who had authority, not like their experts in the law.
