More Is Required

We’re all familiar with the verse about removing the beam in your eye before worrying about the speck in someone else’s (3 Nephi 6:6). This instruction can keep us busy for a while. 

It also reminds me that there are so many people who genuinely want to help others and that’s a good thing. If that’s what one desires, greater effort will be required and expected in order to be trusted as one of His faithful messengers (hence the beam). You have to be different than those around you. And in the end, you will labor so much only to help some understand just a little (hence the speck). 

That should also keep us busy for a while. 

By the way, here’s a comparison between the Restoration Edition and the Covenant of Christ version about this:

“And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull the mote out of thine eye, and behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.” (3 Nephi 6:6)

“And why do you focus on the bit of sawdust in your brother's eye, but ignore the log in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother: Let me pull the sawdust out of your eye, while there’s a log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first get the log out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly enough to remove the bit of sawdust out your brothers eye.” (3 Nephi 14: 3-5)
