Luke 18:10-14
Luke 18:10
“Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
Luke 18:11
The Pharisee stood and began praying this in regard to himself: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, crooked, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
Luke 18:12
I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.’
Luke 18:13
But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to raise his eyes toward heaven, but was beating his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’
Luke 18:14
I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other one; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
