Luke 18:11-14

11 The Pharisee, ^cstanding by himself, prayed ^{▼▼Or standing, prayed to himself} ^ethus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. 12 ^fI fast twice a week; ^gI give tithes of all that I get.’ 13 But the tax collector, ^hstanding far off, ⁱwould not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but ^jbeat his breast, saying, ‘God, ^kbe merciful to me, a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For ^leveryone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
