“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’ ... I tell you that [the penitent tax collector], rather than [the Pharisee] went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
