Luke 18:9
NASB
Luke 18:9
&
And He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt:
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 was praying this to himself: `God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, 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 lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, 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; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."
