6 "They love to sit down in the place of honor at dinners. They also love to have the most important seats in the synagogues.
7 They love to be greeted in the market places. They love it when people call them 'Rabbi.'
8 "But you shouldn't be called 'Rabbi.' You have only one Master, and you are all brothers.
9 Do not call anyone on earth 'father.' You have one Father, and he is in heaven.
10 You shouldn't be called 'teacher.' You have one Teacher, and he is the Christ.
11 The most important person among you will be your servant.
12 Anyone who lifts himself up will be brought down. And anyone who is brought down will be lifted up.
