[QUOTE="Houseman, post: 7749, member: 7"] That's not how I understand that passage. I understand it to be specifically about worship. One should not brag, make a showy display, about how pious one is. One should not seek the glory of men by doing so. That passage says nothing about preaching, does it? It doesn't say anything about teaching others, does it? It only mentions "thine alms" and "thou prayest", right? Jehovah's Witnesses are not doing "thine alms" or "thou prayest" when we knock on your door. As Arnox said, Jesus tells his apostles, at Matthew 28:19 "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" When preaching, we are not doing it so that you can see how pious we are. We don't want adoration or glory from men. [/QUOTE]
