And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, who love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,
But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
And when you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost places at feasts:
And he taught them many things by parables, and said unto them in his teaching,
Woe unto you, Pharisees! for you love the best seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, receives us not.
