The hypocrite's life

Back to "An Alarm to the Unconverted"

---

The hypocrite's life is sadly deficient. He speaks, it may 
be, like an angel—but he has a covetous eye, or the gain 
of unrighteousness is in his hand. His hand is white—but 
his heart is full of rottenness (Matt 23:27), full of unmortified 
cares, a very oven of lust, a shop of pride, the seat of malice!
It may be, with Nebuchadnezzar's image, he has a golden 
head—a great deal of knowledge; but he has feet of clay—his 
affections are worldly, he minds earthly things, and his way 
and walk are sensual and carnal.
