5 They do everything so that people will see them. Look at the straps with scripture verses on them which they wear on their foreheads and arms, and notice how large they are! Notice also how long are the tassels on their cloaks!
6 They love the best places at feasts and the reserved seats in the synagogues;
7 they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to have people call them ‘Teacher.’
8 You must not be called ‘Teacher,’ because you are all equal and have only one Teacher.
9 And you must not call anyone here on earth ‘Father,’ because you have only the one Father in heaven.
10 Nor should you be called ‘Leader,’ because your one and only leader is the Messiah.
11 The greatest one among you must be your servant.
