Matthew 23:1-7 – MARKS OF A HYPOCRITE 

A HYPOCRITE IS:

INCONSISTENT – Vss. 1-3

The Scribes and Pharisees were great at telling others what to do, but didn’t do it themselves.

INCONSIDERATE – Vss. 4

They placed great burdens on others, but didn’t place the same burdens on themselves.

INSINCERE – Vss. 5-7

They wanted to be seen as holy and respected but did not want to earn the holiness or respect.
