Matthew 23:3-13

3 therefore, whatever they bid you to observe, observe it and do it, but do not act according to their works, for they say and do not do it.
4 For they bind burdens that are heavy and grievous to bear and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
5 But they do all their works that they may be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries and enlarge the borders of their garments
6 and love the first place at feasts and the chief seats in the synagogues
7 and greetings in the markets and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8 But, as for you, desire not to be called Rabbi, for one is your Master, the Christ; and you are all brothers.
9 And call no one your father upon the earth, for one is your Father, who is in the heavens.
10 Neither be ye called masters, for one is your Master, the Christ.
11 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled, and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
13 But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of the heavens in front of men, for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye those that are entering to go in.
