Default where have I heard it before ... Oh Yeah!

Isn't it just a paraphrase of what Jesus said about the Log in your own eye versus the speck in someone elses?

Default Matthew 7:1-6 (New Living Translation)

Do Not Judge Others
The Lord Jesus Christ said it...

Matthew 7:1-6 (New Living Translation), "“Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged. “And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own? How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.

“Don’t waste what is holy on people who are unholy. Don’t throw your pearls to pigs! They will trample the pearls, then turn and attack you."
