or how art thou able to say to thy brother, Brother, suffer, I may take out the mote that <FI>is<Fi> in thine eye--thyself the beam in thine own eye not beholding? Hypocrite, take first the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou shalt see clearly to take out the mote that <FI>is<Fi> in thy brother's eye.
Luke 6:40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but every one perfected shall be as his teacher.
Luke 6:41 `And why dost thou behold the mote that is in thy brother's eye, and the beam that <FI>is<Fi> in thine own eye dost not consider?
Luke 6:42 or how art thou able to say to thy brother, Brother, suffer, I may take out the mote that <FI>is<Fi> in thine eye--thyself the beam in thine own eye not beholding? Hypocrite, take first the beam out of thine own eye, and then thou shalt see clearly to take out the mote that <FI>is<Fi> in thy brother's eye.
Luke 6:43 `For there is not a good tree making bad fruit, nor a bad tree making good fruit;
Luke 6:44 for each tree from its own fruit is known, for not from thorns do they gather figs, nor from a bramble do they crop a grape.
The verse centers on "thou", "able", "brother", "suffer", "take", "mote", and "thine". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "thou" and "able", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The nearby context moves from verse 41's "And why dost thou behold the mote..." into verse 43's "For there is not a good tree...", so "thou" and "able" belong inside that flow. In Luke context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "thou" and "able" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
