And he said to them in his teaching, Beware of the scribes, who love to go in long clothing, and love greetings 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 like the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.
And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
And he taught them many things by parables, and said to them in his teaching,
Woe to you, Pharisees! For you love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
I wrote to the church: but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, does not receive us.
