The Sword of Truth

Yeshua said:
"You see a sliver in your friends eye, but do not see the timber in your own. When you take the timber from your own, then you will see well enough to remove the sliver from your friends".
I say:
"You cannot see the sliver in someone else's eye unless you have seen your own.
I have seen the forest in my own which I cut down to become the timber to which I set fire to become the sliver and in the transmutation of the sliver, I could not only remove the sliver from my brother's eye, but see beyond the sliver to the truth that lies within."
