마태복음(Mat) 7장

23.02.01

3. 어찌하여 형제의 눈속에 있는 티는 보고 네 눈속에 있는 들보는 깨닫지 못하느냐

3. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

4. 보라 네 눈속에 들보가 있는데 어찌하여 형제에게 말하기를 나로 네 눈속에 있는 티를 빼게 하라 하겠느냐

4. How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?

5. 외식하는 자여 먼저 네 눈속에서 들보를 빼어라 그 후에야 밝히 보고 형제의 눈속에서 티를 빼리라

5. You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

My righteous and generous Father, forgive me the sins of judging and criticizing my mom and my brothers on whom You shine the bright sunshine fairly, and for whom You have been waiting for longer time than I do. Let me be more patient and more compassionate on them, and help me stop criticizing, but let me pray again for their souls to return to You. 

I repent that I have been piling up my worries and curses within my heart and spitting out of mouth in the name of family and care, which are definitely sins before You, Lord. 

This morning, I eagerly pray that You forgive me my debts as I have also forgiven my debtors. I'd like to love them, even my enemy-like persons, depending on Your power of love, kindness, patience, faithfulness, mercy. Please, fill my heart with Your wisdom, and let me humble myself, thinking that i was also one of them, the sinners, who rejected and betrayed Jesus. Praising Your dwelling in my heart, i pray in my Savior, Jesus name, amen.
