Influences

Matthew 7:3 (KJV)
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

Simple English

Why do you look at the small bit of dirt in your brother’s eye? You don’t think about the big stick in your own eye.

Paraphrase

“Why do you focus on the tiny speck in your brother’s eye while ignoring the massive log in your own?”
