The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: LUK 18:11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank
thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers,
or even as this publican.
LUK 18:12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I
possess.
LUK 18:13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so
much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be
merciful to me a sinner.
LUK 18:14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather
than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and
he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
