Matthew 7:3-5

3 And why spiest thou out the mote which is in thy brother's eye, yet payest no attention to the beam which is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Suffer me to take the mote off from thine eye: and behold there is a beam in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, take first the beam out of thine own eye and then shalt thou see clearly to take off the mote from thy brother's eye.

Galatians 6:1-5

1 BRETHREN, if a man also be surprised into any act of offence, ye that are spiritual, replace such a one in the spirit of meekness; keeping an attentive eye on thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if any man conceits that he is something when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 4 But let every man bring his own work to the test, and then shall he have glorying in himself alone, and not [by comparison] with another. 5 For every man shall bear his own burden.
