Do not fool yourself

Luke 18:9-14

9 And he spoke this parable to certain which trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 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. 12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 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. 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalts himself shall be abased; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

Lucas 18:9-14

9 Y también dijo esta parábola a unos que confiaban en sí mismos como justos, y menospreciaban a los otros: 10 “Dos hombres subieron al templo a orar; uno era fariseo, y el otro publicano.” 11 “El fariseo, puesto en pie, oraba consigo mismo de esta manera: Dios, te doy gracias porque no soy como los otros hombres, ladrones, injustos, adúlteros, ni aun como este publicano;” 12 “ayuno dos veces a la semana, doy diezmos de todo lo que poseo.” 13 “Mas el publicano, estando lejos, no quería ni siquiera alzar los ojos al cielo, sino que golpeaba su pecho, diciendo: Dios, sé propicio a mí, pecador.” 14 “Os digo que éste descendió a su casa justificado antes que el otro; porque cualquiera que se enaltece, será humillado; y el que se humilla, será enaltecido.”
