10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11 The Pharisee astood and prayed thus with himself, b‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men—extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.  
12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’
13 And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat 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; afor everyone who exalts himself will be1 humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
