Exegesis
The adversative clause kata de ta erga auton me poieite {κατὰ δὲ τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν μὴ ποιεῖτε | ka-tá dè tá ér-ga au-tôn mḕ poi-eî-te} uses kata with the accusative to mean “according to, in line with,” marking the works of these leaders as a pattern that must not be imitated, with mē plus the present imperative forbidding a continuing practice.
In context — Matthew 23:3
Therefore, whatever they tell you, do and observe ; but do not do according to their deeds , for they say and do not do.
