    "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
    ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are
    brethren. And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your
    Father, which is in heaven. Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. But he that is greatest among you shall be your
    servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that
    shall humble himself shall be exalted."
    Matthew 23:5-12, KJV

    "And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to
    go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces, And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts: Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation."
    Mark 12:38-40, KJV

    "Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because
    of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of
    the synagogue: For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of
    God."
    John 12:42-43, KJV

    "But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the
    heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but
    of God."
    Romans 2:29, KJV

    Therefore let no man glory in men . . . And these things, brethren, I have
    in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye
    might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no
    one of you be puffed up for one against another. For who maketh thee to
    differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received
    it?"
    1 Corinthians 3:21a, 4:6-7, KJV

    "Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble."
    1 Peter 5:5, KJV
