Matthew 23:5-15

5 And everything they do they do with a view to being observed by men; for they widen their phylacteries and make the tassels large,

6 and love the best seats at a dinner party or in the synagogues,

7 and like to be bowed to in places of public resort, and to be addressed by men as `Rabbi.'

8 "As for you, do not accept the title of `Rabbi,' for one alone is your Teacher, and you are all brothers.

9 And call no one on earth your Father, for One alone is your Father--the Heavenly Father.

10 And do not accept the name of `leader,' for your Leader is one alone--the Christ.

11 He who is the greatest among you shall be your servant;

12 and one who exalts himself shall be abased, while one who abases himself shall be exalted.

13 "But alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you lock the door of the Kingdom of the Heavens against men; you yourselves do not enter, nor do you allow those to enter who are seeking to do so.

15 "Alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you scour sea and land in order to win one convert--and when he is gained, you make him twice as much a son of Gehenna as yourselves.
