Luke:18:10-14

* "
Two men went up into the temple to pray ,
one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector .
*
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 .
*
I fast twice a week ,
I give tithes of all that I get .'
*
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 !'
*
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 ."
