What does the bible say about hypocrisy?In essence, "hypocrisy" refers to the act of claiming to believe in something, but acting differently. The biblical word is derived from the Greek term for "actor" (literally, "one who wears a mask"), in other words, someone who pretends to be what he is not.The Bible considers hypocrisy a sin. There are two ways in which hypocrisy can be presented: The hypocrisy that claims to believe in something and then act contrary to that belief, and the hypocrisy of looking down on others knowing that we ourselves are imperfect.Jesus made it clear in Matthew 23: 2-4“In the chair of Moses sit the scribes and the Pharisees. 3 So whatever they tell you to keep, keep it and do it; but do not do according to their works, because they say, but do not do. 4 They tie heavy loads difficult to carry, and put them on men's shoulders; but they don't even want to move them with a finger.
