Who are the Hypocrites?

A hypocrite is a lifestyle. No one can be a hypocrite and a Christian (1 John 3:9) as the Pharisees were. However, Christians can fall into hypocrisy (Galatians 2:11-14). Consequently, from this passage, we need to recognize the hypocrisy that we can fall into and seek a clear conscience (Luke 11:35). I recommend the book, EXTREME RIGHTEOUSNESS: SEEING OURSELVES IN THE PHARISEES by Tom Hovestol.
