Matthew 23:2-12

2sayingG3004, The scribesG1122 and the PhariseesG5330 sitG2523 on Moses’ seat: 3all thingsG3956 thereforeG3767 whatsoever they bid you, these do and observeG5083: but do not ye after their worksG2041; for they sayG3004, and do not. 4Yea, they bind heavy burdensG5413 and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’sG444 shouldersG5606; but they themselves will not moveG2795 them with their fingerG1147. 5But all their worksG2041 they do to be seenG2300 of menG444: for they makeG4160 broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, 6and loveG5368 the chief placeG4411 at feasts, and the chief seatsG4410 in the synagoguesG4864, 7and the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be calledG2564 of menG444, RabbiG4461. 8But beG1510 not ye calledG2564 RabbiG4461: for oneG1520 isG1510 your teacherG1320, and all ye areG1510 brethren. 9And callG2564 no man your fatherG3962 on the earthG1093: for oneG1520 isG1510 your FatherG3962, evenG2532 he who isG1510 in heaven. 10Neither beG1510 ye calledG2564 masters: for oneG1520 isG1510 your master, evenG3366 the ChristG5547. 11But he that isG1510 greatestG3173 among you shall beG1510 your servantG1249. 12And whosoever shall exaltG5312 himself shall be humbledG5013; and whosoever shall humbleG5013 himself shall be exaltedG5312.
