Matthew:23:3-12
rsv@Matthew:23:3 @ so practice and observe whatever they tell you, but not what they do; for they preach, but do not practice.
rsv@Matthew:23:4 @ They bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.
rsv@Matthew:23:5 @ They do all their deeds to be seen by men; for they make their phylacteries broad and their fringes long,
rsv@Matthew:23:6 @ and they love the place of honor at feasts and the best seats in the synagogues,
rsv@Matthew:23:7 @ and salutations in the market places, and being called rabbi by men.
rsv@Matthew:23:8 @ But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brethren.
rsv@Matthew:23:9 @ And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.
rsv@Matthew:23:10 @ Neither be called masters, for you have one master, the Christ.
rsv@Matthew:23:11 @ He who is greatest among you shall be your servant;
rsv@Matthew:23:12 @ whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
