^{3 Ref} all things therefore whatsoever they bid you, `these' do and observe: but do not ye after their works; for they say, and do not.

^{4 Ref} Yea, they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger.

^{5 Ref} But all their works they do to be seen of men: for they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders `of their garments',

^{6 Ref} and love the chief place at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

^{7 Ref} and the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called of men, Rabbi.

^{8 Ref} But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your teacher, and all ye are brethren.

^{9 Ref} And call no man your father on the earth: for one is your Father, `even' he who is in heaven.

¹⁰ Neither be ye called masters: for one is your master, `even' the Christ.

^{11 Ref} But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.

^{12 Ref} And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled; and whosoever shall humble himself shall be exalted.
