Erm it's a book quotation. Equinox ◑ 11:29, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Why was this created? It's not a word or an idiom. Renard Migrant (talk) 17:42, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
 * It is a proverb, I assume that is why it was created. - TheDaveRoss 12:24, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
 * It's not claiming to be a proverb. Maybe it is, I've never heard of it as a proverb. Renard Migrant (talk) 11:36, 19 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete IMO. I doubt the current usage-note-y last part of the definition is discernible in many examples. The "proverb" itself seems straightforwardly intelligible. Compare "He who fights with monsters should take care lest he thereby become a monster." - -sche (discuss) 00:03, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. I see no usage that I would call proverbial. Almost all of the readily visible usage has it in quotation marks and/or with the chapter and verse of Matthew (KJV) from which it is taken. I would think that something is arguably not a proverb until at least it appears without attribution in a significant portion of its uses. DCDuring TALK 00:16, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. In its original context, it's just part of a larger passage, and its use elsewhere is only to remind one of that larger passage- because it's the most memorable turn of phrase in it. It's not really a thing on its own, and for that reason, the "definition" is really just a sort of vague explanation of the larger passage. Without the larger context, there's something tautological about it, and it's hard to imagine how to define it as a phrase in isolation. This isn't the sum of its parts, it's the sum of other parts.

 * As for it being a tautology: it is what it is. DCDuring TALK 13:39, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete not dictionary material. - Sonofcawdrey (talk) 04:13, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
