Lk 18:9:And he spake this parable unto certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

Lk 18:10:Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

Lk 18:11:The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

Lk 18:12:I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

Lk 18:13:And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

Lk 18:14:I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other:for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
