I wonder if Abe Lincoln spoke like this ...

"I caution those who may try to take the speck out of a neighbor's eye when they got a log in their own"

Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment that you pronounce you will be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, "Let me take the speck out of your eye," when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.


Matthew 7.1-5

I think that is a good quote.... I am comfortable with that kind of talk. Of cousre I am from Louisiana!

:P

Thanks, Pd! I was trying to remember that quote; but I've been an agnostic for many decades...

Since you last read it, I think they've come out with a new translation.

It's called the Revised Standard version. :)

Why would it be different after a mere 50 years? :nyanya:
