The ‘K’ is not silent

Matthew 7:3-5

And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

From my daily interactions with people, I think that many people would be surprised to find out the sentence after “Hypocrite!” has a practical way to help your brother and yourself so that you can both go forward with clear eyes instead of something like this:

Go away and leave your brother alone, it is none of your dang business what may or may not be in his eye.
