Luke 18:9-14

9And he spoke this parable to certain who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:1 10Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a tax collector. 11The 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 tax collector. 12I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. 13And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner. 14I 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.
