Page 650 - When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death, thou didst open the kingdom of heaven to all believers.
Page 311 - Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye ; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye ; and then shall thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
