Matthew 23:6-12 ▼

6 And they love the place of honor at banquets and the best seats in the synagogues,

7 and respectful greetings in the marketplaces, and being called Rabbi by men.

8 But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers.

9 And do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.

10 Do not be called instructors; for One is your Instructor, that is, Christ.

11 But the greatest among you shall be your servant.

12 And whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.
