Bible verses about "hypocrisy" | BBE

Matthew 7:15

15 Be on the watch for false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inside they are cruel wolves.

Luke 12:2

2 But nothing is covered up, which will not come to light, or secret, which will not be made clear.

1 John 2:9

9 He who says that he is in the light, and has hate in his heart for his brother, is still in the dark.

2 Timothy 3:5

5 Having a form of religion, but turning their backs on the power of it: go not with these.

James 2:14-26

14 What use is it, my brothers, for a man to say that he has faith, if he does nothing? will such a faith give him salvation? 15 If a brother or a sister is without clothing and in need of the day's food, 16 And one of you says to them, Go in peace, be warm and full of food; but you do not give them the things of which their bodies have need, what profit is there in this? 17 Even so faith without works is dead. 18 But a man may say, You have faith and I have works; let me see your faith without your works, and I will make my faith clear to you by my works. 19 You have the belief that God is one, and you do well: the evil spirits have the same belief, shaking with fear. 20 Do you not see, O foolish man, that faith without works is of no use? 21 Was not the righteousness of Abraham our father judged by his works, when he made an offering of Isaac his son on the altar? 22 You see that his faith was helping his works and was made complete by them; 23 And the holy Writings were put into effect which said, And Abraham had faith in God and it was put to his account as righteousness; and he was named the friend of God. 24 You see that a man's righteousness is judged by his works and not by his faith only. 25 And in the same way, was not the righteousness of Rahab, the loose woman, judged by her works, when she took into her house those who were sent and let them go out by another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead even so faith without works is dead.

1 John 2:4

4 The man who says, I have knowledge of him, and does not keep his laws, is false, and there is nothing true in him:

Titus 1:16

16 They say that they have knowledge of God, while by their acts they are turning their backs on him; they are hated by all, hard-hearted, and judged to be without value for any good work.

Matthew 15:7-9

7 You false ones, well did Isaiah say of you, 8 These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 9 But their worship is to no purpose, while they give as their teaching the rules of men.

Romans 2:3

3 But you who are judging another for doing what you do yourself, are you hoping that God's decision will not take effect against you?

Matthew 7:1-5

1 Be not judges of others, and you will not be judged. 2 For as you have been judging, so you will be judged, and with your measure will it be measured to you. 3 And why do you take note of the grain of dust in your brother's eye, but take no note of the bit of wood which is in your eye? 4 Or how will you say to your brother, Let me take out the grain of dust from your eye, when you yourself have a bit of wood in your eye? 5 You false one, first take out the bit of wood from your eye, then will you see clearly to take out the grain of dust from your brother's eye.

Matthew 7:5

5 You false one, first take out the bit of wood from your eye, then will you see clearly to take out the grain of dust from your brother's eye.

Matthew 6:1

1 Take care not to do your good works before men, to be seen by them; or you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

1 John 4:20

20 If a man says, I have love for God, and has hate for his brother, his words are false: for how is the man who has no love for his brother whom he has seen, able to have love for God whom he has not seen?
