Matthew 23:5-7

New Century Version

⁵ “They do good things so that other people will see them. They enlarge the little boxes^[a] holding Scriptures that they wear, and they make their special prayer clothes very long. ⁶ Those Pharisees and teachers of the law love to have the most important seats at feasts and in the synagogues. ⁷ They love people to greet them with respect in the marketplaces, and they love to have people call them ‘Teacher.’
