blaming others

³And how can you see the splinter in your brother’s eye, and not see the board in your own eye? ⁴Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the splinter from your eye,’ while, behold, a board is in your own eye? ⁵Hypocrite, first remove the board from your own eye, and then you will see clearly enough to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye.

¹For this reason, O man, each one of you who judges is inexcusable. For by that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you do the same things that you judge.

¹³Whoever hides his crimes will not be guided. But whoever will have confessed and abandoned them shall overtake mercy.

¹²And Adam said, “The woman, whom you gave to me as a companion, gave to me from the tree, and I ate.” ¹³And the Lord God said to the woman, “Why have you done this?” And she responded, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

¹And, brothers, if a man has been overtaken by any offense, you who are spiritual should instruct someone like this with a spirit of leniency, considering that you yourselves might also be tempted. ²Carry one another’s burdens, and so shall you fulfill the law of Christ. ³For if anyone considers himself to be something, though he may be nothing, he deceives himself. ⁴So let each one prove his own work. And in this way, he shall have glory in himself only, and not in another. ⁵For each one shall carry his own burden. ⁶And let him who is being taught the Word discuss it with him who is teaching it to him, in every good way.

¹⁵But the spiritual nature of man judges all things, and he himself may be judged by no man.

³¹Let all bitterness and anger and indignation and outcry and blasphemy be taken away from you, along with all malice. ³²And be kind and merciful to one another, forgiving one another, just as God has forgiven you in Christ.

¹If I were to speak in the language of men, or of Angels, yet not have charity, I would be like a clanging bell or a crashing cymbal. ²And if I have prophecy, and learn every mystery, and obtain all knowledge, and possess all faith, so that I could move mountains, yet not have charity, then I am nothing. ³And if I distribute all my goods in order to feed the poor, and if I hand over my body to be burned, yet not have charity, it offers me nothing. ⁴Charity is patient, is kind. Charity does not envy, does not act wrongly, is not inflated. ⁵Charity is not ambitious, does not seek for itself, is not provoked to anger, devises no evil. ⁶Charity does not rejoice over iniquity, but rejoices in truth.

²⁸And we know that, for those who love God, all things work together unto good, for those who, in accordance with his purpose, are called to be saints.

¹³A rejoicing heart gladdens the face. But by the grief of the soul, the spirit is cast down. ¹⁴The heart of the wise seeks doctrine. And the mouth of the foolish feeds on ignorance.

⁷Therefore, be subject to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

¹⁴The heart of the wise seeks doctrine. And the mouth of the foolish feeds on ignorance.

²Every way of a man seems right to himself. But the Lord weighs hearts.

¹³Brothers, I do not consider that I have already attained this. Instead, I do one thing: forgetting those things that are behind, and extending myself toward those things that are ahead, ¹⁴I pursue the destination, the prize of the heavenly calling of God in Christ Jesus.

¹⁶Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasures and dissatisfaction.

¹⁰For it is necessary for us to be manifested before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive the proper things of the body, according to his behavior, whether it was good or evil.
