and if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light to those in darkness,an instructor of the ignorant, a teacher of the immature, having the embodiment of knowledge and truth in the law—you then, who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who preach,“ You must not steal”— do you steal?You who say,“ You must not commit adultery”— do you commit adultery? You who detest idols, do you rob temples?You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?For, as it is written: The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.

Be careful to do exactly as they instruct you.You must abide by the instruction they give you and the verdict they announce to you.

Matthew 15:2-9
“ Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat.”He answered them,“ Why do you break God’s commandment because of your tradition?For God said: Honor your father and your mother; and, Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must be put to death.But you say,‘ Whoever tells his father or mother,“ Whatever benefit you might have received from me is a gift committed to the temple,”he does not have to honor his father.’ In this way, you have nullified the word of God because of your tradition.Hypocrites! Isaiah prophesied correctly about you when he said:This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.They worship me in vain, teaching as doctrines human commands.”
