Subjects in this Topic:

mōt (κάρφος, kárphos): A minute piece of anything dry or light, as straw, chaff, a splinter of wood, that might enter the eye. Used by Jesus in ff; in contrast with “beam,” to rebuke officiousness in correcting small faults of others, while cherishing greater ones of our own.
