“Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?”
Matthew 7:4 — Greek Interlinear
Church Fathers on Matthew 7:4
The Lord having admonished us concerning hasty and unjust judgment; and because that they are most given to rash judgment, who judge concerning things uncertain; and they most readily find fault, who love rather to speak evil and to condemn than to cure and to correct; a fault that spring either from pride or jealousy - therefore He subjoins, 'Why seest thou the mote in thy brother’s eye, and seest not the beam in thy own eye?'
He speaks of such as though themselves guilty of mortal sin, do not forgive a trivial fault in their brother.
Many do this, if they see a Monk having a superfluous garment, or a plentiful meal, they break out into bitter accusation, though themselves daily seize and devour, and suffer from excess of drinking.
