Matthew 23:8-10

⁸"Don''t let people do that to you, put you on a pedestal like that. You all have a single Teacher, and you are all classmates.c

⁹Don''t set people up as experts over your life, letting them tell you what to do. Save that authority for God; let him tell you what to do. No one else should carry the title of "Father''; you have only one Father, and he''s in heaven.d

¹⁰And don''t let people maneuver you into taking charge of them. There is only one Life-Leader for you and them--Christ.
