Anointed Profit for June 2022
Hypocrisy - Group 1 - Violation of the Ninth Commandment
1. The hypocrisy of religious leaders who keep others out of kingdom
But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in (Matt 23:13).
2. The hypocrisy of Pretense
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation (Matt 23:14).
3. The hypocrisy of the proselyte
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell then yourselves. Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor! Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? (Matt 23:15-17).
4. The hypocrisy of those who clean the outside; but within is excess
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye made clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess (Matt 23:25).
5. The hypocrisy of those who appear righteous: But have iniquity within
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity (Matt 23:27-28).
6. The hypocrisy of those who strain at a gnat and swallow a camel
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not leave the other undone. Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel (Matt 23:23-24).
7. The hypocrisy of those who condemn a past generation but do worse themselves
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous, And say, if we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets (Matt 23:29-30).
Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all (I Timothy 4:15).
