Matthew 23:3-12

BLB(i) 3 therefore keep and observe all things whatsoever they might tell you. But do not do according to their works, for they preach and do not act. 4 And they tie up burdens heavy and hard to bear and lay them on the shoulders of men; but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger. 5 And they do all their deeds in order to be seen by men. For they broaden their phylacteries and enlarge their tassels, 6 and they love the chief place at the banquets, and the first seats in the synagogues, 7 and the greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by men. 8 But you shall not be called ‘Rabbi,’ for your Teacher is One, and you are all brothers. 9 And call no one your father on the earth; for One is your Father, who is in heaven. 10 Neither be called instructors; since One is your instructor, the Christ. 11 But the greatest among you will be your servant. 12 And whoever shall exalt himself will be humbled, and whoever shall humble himself will be exalted.
