Matthew 23:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 But he that is greatest among you, let him be your servant.
12 (A)For whosoever [a]will exalt himself, shall be brought low: and whosoever will humble himself, shall be exalted.
13 ¶ [b]Woe therefore be unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, [c]hypocrites, because ye shut up the kingdom of heaven before men: for ye yourselves go not in, neither suffer ye them that would [d]enter, to come in.
