Matthew 23:11-13

The Voice

¹¹ If you are recognized at all, let it be for your service. Delight in the one who calls you servant. ¹² For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.

¹³ Woe to you, you teachers of the law and Pharisees. There is such a gulf between what you say and what you do. You will stand before a crowd and lock the door of the kingdom of heaven right in front of everyone; you won’t enter the Kingdom yourselves, and you prevent others from doing so.
