American King James Version
"And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, "
— Matthew 23:6, American King James Version
“And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,”
“and love the chief place at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, ”
“and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,”
“They love the place of honor at banquets and the best seats in the synagogues”
“And they love the first places at feasts and the first chairs in the synagogues,”
“And the things desired by them are the first places at feasts, and the chief seats in the Synagogues,”
“And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,”
All therefore whatever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not you after their works: for they say, and do not.
For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
But be not you called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all you are brothers.
And call no man your father on the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
