Neither be called instructors, for one is your instructor, the Christ.

And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ.

But the greatest of you shall be your servant.

But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant.

“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.
