He was self-righteous and trusted in him§t*lf. 2., He prayed with himsglf .(vv. 11. 12).- He used the name of God, but wtfs really, a soliloquy. He pretended to be tli&hkiug God when he was real ly complimenting himself—rehearsing his own goodness. , His whole thought centered in himself. He congratulated himself for his morality (v. 11). He thanked God that he was not as other men are. such as extortioner*, unjust, adulterers, or even as the publican who was standing afar off. One who has been kept from these gross sins ought to he grateful to God hut should not set himself above big fellow men because of It. He congratulated hi it self for his religjous merits (v. 12).
