4 They make loads that are hard to carry and lay them on the shoulders of the people. However, they are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
5 “They do everything to attract people’s attention. They make their headbands large and the tassels on their shawls long.
6 They love the place of honor at dinners and the front seats in synagogues.
7 They love to be greeted in the marketplaces and to have people call them Rabbi.
8 But don’t make others call you Rabbi, because you have only one teacher, and you are all followers.
9 And don’t call anyone on earth your father, because you have only one Father, and he is in heaven.
10 Don’t make others call you a leader, because you have only one leader, the Messiah.
