Luke 18:9-14
9
He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were
righteous and despised others:
10
"Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a
tax collector.
11
The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, 'God, I thank thee that I am
not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax
collector.
12
I fast twice a week, I give tithes of all that I get.'
13
But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to
heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me a sinner!'
14
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other;
for every one who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself
will be exalted."
