What does the Bible say about hypocrites? In Luke 12:1 (KJV) Jesus warns, "Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy."
Sermon on the Mount Part 11 with Matt Hepner and TopLobsta: giving in secret (Matthew 6:1-4), what hypocrite means in Greek, and Jesus' woes to the Pharisees.
Hypocrisy stands in exact opposition to the culture of the kingdom. Matt reads Matthew 6:1-4 (do not sound a trumpet before thee) and balances it with being salt and light: the issue is your motive, not whether you are seen. The Greek hypokrites means an actor, a stage player, a pretender. Hypocrisy is the disease; doing things to be seen of men is the symptom. Then Jesus' woes at a Pharisee's table (Luke 11:37-52), and in Luke 12 the leaven of the Pharisees, be not afraid of them that kill the body, confessing Christ before men, the rich fool, take no thought, and where your treasure is. It ends with the cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7), beware of the scribes, and the widow's two mites (Luke 21:1-4).
Primary passage: Luke 12:1 (KJV)
