Proverbs 9:4
New International Version
Matthew 23:3-9
New International Version
3 So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4 They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.(A)
5 “Everything they do is done for people to see:(B) They make their phylacteries[a](C) wide and the tassels on their garments(D) long; 6 they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues;(E) 7 they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.(F)
8 “But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. 9 And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father,(G) and he is in heaven.
