2
The scribes and the Pharisees have the authority of Moses;
3
All things, then, which they give you orders to do, these do and keep: but do not take their works as your example, for they say and do not.
4
They make hard laws and put great weights on men's backs; but they themselves will not put a finger to them
5
But all their works they do so as to be seen by men: for they make wide their phylacteries, and the edges of their robes,
6
And the things desired by them are the first places at feasts, and the chief seats in the Synagogues,
7
And words of respect in the market-places, and to be named by men, Teacher.
8
But you may not be named Teacher: for one is your teacher, and you are all brothers.
9
And give no man the name of father on earth: because one is your Father, who is in heaven.
10
And you may not be named guides: because one is your Guide, even Christ.
11
But let the greatest among you be your servant.
12
And whoever makes himself high will be made low, and whoever makes himself low will be made high.
