And they ″ love the first places at suppers, and * the first chaires in the Synagogues, and salutations in the market-place, and to be called of men, Rabbi. But be not you called Rabbi. For ″ one is your Maister, and al you are brethren. And call none Father to yourself upon earth: for one is your Father, he that is in Heaven. Neither * be ye called ″ Maister: for one is your Maister, Christ. He that is the greater of you, shal be your servitour.

Woe to you Scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites: because you goe round about the sea and the land to make one Proselyte: and when he is made, you make him the child of Hel ″ double more then yourselves.

Woe to you Scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites: because you tithe mint, and anise, and cummin, and have left the weightier things of the law, judgement, and mercie, and faith. These things you ought to have done, and not to have omitted those. Blind guides, that straine a gnat, and swallow a camel.
