Woe to you, Pharisees! for ye love the first seat in assemblies, and greetings in market-places.
Pride before a breaking, and a spirit lifted up before a fall
To what shall I liken this generation I it is like little boys sitting in market-places, and calling to their companions,
Hold from the scribes, wishing to walk about in robes, and loving greetings in the markets, and precedencies in assemblies, and the first places at tables at suppers;
In brotherly love, being kindly affectioned to one another; in honour preceding one another.
Nothing by hired labor, or vainglory; but in lowliness the leaders hold each other above themselves.
I wrote to the church: but Diotrephes, seeking the superiority over them, receives us not.
