ગુજરાતીમાથ્થી ૨૩:૫
લોકો તેઓને જુએ તે હેતુથી તેઓ પોતાનાં સઘળાં કામ કરે છે; તેઓ પોતાનાં સ્મરણપત્રોની પેટી પહોળી બનાવે છે તથા પોતાનાં વસ્ત્રોની કોરની ઝાલર વધારે છે.
हिन्दीमत्ती २३:५
वे अपने सब काम लोगों को दिखाने के लिये करते हैं वे अपने तावीजों को चौड़े करते, और अपने वस्त्रों की झालरों को बढ़ाते हैं।

In context

3All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but don’t do their works; for they say, and don’t do.

4For they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them.

5But they do all their works to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the fringes of their garments,

6and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,

7the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi, Rabbi’ by men.
