Matthew 23:5-15

5 And all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries and enlarge the borders [of their garments],

6 and love the chief place in feasts and the first seats in the synagogues,

7 and salutations in the market-places, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

8 But *ye*, be not ye called Rabbi; for one is your instructor, and all *ye* are brethren.

9 And call not [any one] your father upon the earth; for one is your Father, he who is in the heavens.

10 Neither be called instructors, for one is your instructor, the Christ.

11 But the greatest of you shall be your servant.

12 And whoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled, and whoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.

13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye shut up the kingdom of the heavens before men; for *ye* do not enter, nor do ye suffer those that are entering to go in.

14

15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye compass the sea and the dry [land] to make one proselyte, and when he is become [such], ye make him twofold more [the] son of hell than yourselves.
