NASB | Proverbs 21:2 Every man's way is right in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs the hearts. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Proverbs 21:2 Every man's way is right in his own eyes, But the LORD weighs and examines the hearts [of people and their motives]. [Prov 24:12; Luke 16:15] |
Subject: self-righteous and Truth |
Bible Note: I think the best illustration of self-rightousness comes from the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus is talking about judging others, and the hypocracy we are prone to. The text is Matthew 7:1-5. Then, taking these words of Jesus to heart, we need to pray that we will be able to see things clearly. With humility, we draw others of God s truth. JRM |
