But there is perhaps among you some hypocrite, a
man-pleaser, and one who makes a pretence of piety, but believes not
from the heart; having the hypocrisy of Simon Magus; one who has come
hither not in order to receive of the grace, but to spy out what is
given: let him also learn from John: And now also the
axe is laid unto the root of the trees, Every tree therefore that
bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the
fire Matt. iii. 10.. The Judge is
inexorable; put away thine hypocrisy.
