Matthew 23:6-12 ▼

6 They love to have the places of honor at festivals, the best seats in the synagogues,

7 to be greeted in the marketplaces, and to be called 'Rabbi' by people.

8 |But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' because you have only one teacher, and all of you are brothers.

9 And don't call anyone on earth 'Father,' because you have only one Father, the one in heaven.

10 Nor are you to be called 'Teachers,' because you have only one teacher, the Messiah!

11 The person who is greatest among you must be your servant.

12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
