Matthew 23:4-12

4but bind burdensG5413 heavy and hard to bear, and lay them on the shouldersG5606 of menG444, but will not moveG2795 them with their fingerG1147.

5And 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 in feasts and the first seatsG4410 in the synagoguesG4864,

7and salutations in the market-places, and to be calledG2564 of menG444, RabbiG4461, RabbiG4461.

8But ye, beG1510 not ye calledG2564 RabbiG4461; for oneG1520 isG1510 your instructor, and all ye areG1510 brethren.

9And callG2564 not [any oneG1520] your fatherG3962 upon the earthG1093; for oneG1520 isG1510 your FatherG3962, he who isG1510 in the heavens.

10Neither beG1510 calledG2564 instructors, for oneG1520 isG1510 your instructor, the ChristG5547.

11But the greatestG3173 of you shall beG1510 your servantG1249.

12And whoever shall exaltG5312 himself shall be humbledG5013, and whoever shall humbleG5013 himself shall be exaltedG5312.
