“Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a despised tax collector.

Luke 18:12 NLT
I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.’

I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned home justified before God. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
