• Matthew 7:3-5
    And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 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? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
     
  • Psalm 15:1-5
    LORD, who may abide in Your tabernacle?
    Who may dwell in Your holy hill? He who walks uprightly,
    And works righteousness,
    And speaks the truth in his heart;
    He who does not backbite with his tongue,
    Nor does evil to his neighbor,
    Nor does he take up a reproach against his friend;
    In whose eyes a vile person is despised,
    But he honors those who fear the LORD;
    He who swears to his own hurt and does not change;
    He who does not put out his money at usury,
    Nor does he take a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.

     
  • Matthew 15:8-9
    " These people draw near to Me with their mouth,
    Andhonor Me with their lips,
    But their heart is far from Me.
    And in vain they worship Me,
    Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.""
     
  • Matthew 23:25-26
    “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also.
     
  • James 3:13-18
    Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
     
  • 1 Peter 2:1
    Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking,
     
  • Proverbs 11:9
    The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor,
    But through knowledge the righteous will be delivered.
