006:041 "And why look at the splinter in your brother's eye instead
of giving careful attention to the beam in your own?
006:042 How can you say to your brother, `Brother, let me take that
splinter out of your eye,' when all the while you yourself

built a house upon the soft soil without a foundation,
against which the torrent bursts, and immediately it collapses,
and terrible is the wreck and ruin of that house."
