Matthew 23:8-12

Contemporary English Version

⁸ But none of you should be called a teacher. You have only one teacher, and all of you are like brothers and sisters. ⁹ Don't call anyone on earth your father. All of you have the same Father in heaven. ¹⁰ None of you should be called the leader. The Messiah is your only leader. ^11 (A) Whoever is the greatest should be the servant of the others. ^12 (B) If you put yourself above others, you will be put down. But if you humble yourself, you will be honored.
