Luke 18:9-14  NAS

And He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and view others with contempt:  "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.  The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: 'God, I thank You that I am not like other people:  swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.  I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.'  But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying 'God be merciful to me, the sinner!'  I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."
