What does the Bible say about hypocrites in religion?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against hypocritical practices among religious leaders who prioritize outward appearances over true faith.

In Matthew 23, Jesus rebukes the religious leaders of His day, calling them hypocrites who focus on external rituals and legalism rather than the weightier matters of judgment, mercy, and faith. He emphasizes that they say one thing but do another, binding heavy burdens on others while not living up to the standards they preach. This theme of hypocrisy serves as a serious warning to modern Christians to evaluate their own lives and practices, ensuring they align with genuine faith.
