WHAT ABOUT THOSE HYPOCRITES?

THE LAST SUPPER, LEONARDO  DA VINCI 

I used to like the TV show called “The Pretender”.I have learned that you may meet some pretenders in your lifetime.

During my Bible study, I noticed that 

Jesus called some people, “hypocrites!”

This week I’m sharing the results of my study on people Jesus called hypocrites.

 

 

LIFE LESSON:

TRAITS OF THE HYPOCRITE

JOB 20:5

That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the hypocriteis but for a moment?

JOB 27:8

For what is the hope of the hypocrite, Though he may gain much, If God takes away his life?

MATTHEW 6:2 & 5

² Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.

⁵ And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.

MATTHEW 7:4-5, 15-16

⁴ Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye?

⁵ Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

¹⁵ “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

¹⁶ You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?

MATTHEW 15:7-9

 

⁷ Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:

⁸ ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth,
And  honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
⁹ And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”

 

LUKE 6:42

Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother’s eye.

 

GALATIANS 2:13

And the rest of the Jews also played the hypocrite with him, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.

ROMANS 3:12

“Their throat is an open tomb; With their tongues they have practiced deceit”; 

“The poison of asps is under their lips”.

Romans 12:9-10

 

⁹ Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.
¹⁰ Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;

  

2 CORINTHIANS 11:13

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.

1 PETER 2: 1-3

1 Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking,

² As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby.

³ If indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
