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?

The verse 4 is found in chapter 7 of Matthew. Jesus forbids hypocritical judgment and uses the image of the log and the speck. Correcting another can only be legitimate after examining one’s own life, while the warning about what is holy reminds us that discernment and mercy must coexist.

Oder wie darfst du sagen zu deinem Bruder: Halt, ich will dir den Splitter aus deinem Auge ziehen, und siehe, ein Balken ist in deinem Auge?
O ¿cómo dirás a tu hermano: Espera, echaré de tu ojo la mota, y he aquí la viga en tu ojo?
¿O cómo le dirás a tu hermano: “Déjame sacarte la astilla del ojo”, cuando tienes una viga en tu propio ojo?
Ou comment peux-tu dire à ton frère: Laisse-moi ôter une paille de ton oeil, toi qui as une poutre dans le tien?
Ovvero, come dici al tuo fratello: Lascia che io ti tragga dell’occhio il fuscello, ed ecco, la trave è nell’occhio tuo?
Ou como dirás a teu irmão: Deixa-me tirar o argueiro do teu olho, estando uma trave no teu?
你自己眼中有梁木,怎能對你弟兄說『讓我去掉你眼中的刺』呢?
