Luke 18:9-14

ToG4314 someG5100 whoG3588 trustedG3982 inG1909 their ownG1438G3754G1510 righteousnessG1342 andG2532 viewedG1848 others with contemptG3062, He also toldG2532G2036 thisG3778 parableG3850: 10“TwoG1417 menG444 went upG305 toG1519 theG3588 templeG2411 to prayG4336. OneG1520 was a PhariseeG5330 andG2532 theG3588 otherG2087 a tax collectorG5057. 11TheG3588 PhariseeG5330 stoodG2476 byG4314 himselfG1438 and prayedG4336,1 ‘GodG2316, I thankG2168 YouG4771 thatG3754 I amG1510 notG3756 likeG5618 otherG3062 menG444—swindlersG727, evildoersG94, adulterersG3432—orG2228 evenG2532 likeG5613 thisG3778 tax collectorG5057. 12I fastG3522 twiceG1364 aG3588 weekG4521 and pay tithesG586 of all thatG3956G3745 I acquireG2932.’

13ButG1161 theG3588 tax collectorG5057 stoodG2476 at a distanceG3113, unwilling evenG3756G2309G3761 to lift upG1869 his eyesG3788 toG1519 heavenG3772. InsteadG235, he beatG5180 hisG846 breastG4738 and saidG3004, ‘GodG2316, have mercyG2433 on meG1473, aG3588 sinnerG268!’ 14I tellG3004 youG4771, thisG3778 man, rather thanG3844 the Pharisee, went homeG2597G1519G846G3588G3624 justifiedG1344. ForG3754 everyoneG3956 whoG3588 exaltsG5312 himselfG1438 will be humbledG5013, butG1161 theG3588 one who humblesG5013 himselfG1438 will be exaltedG5312.”
