Galatians 2.11: Now, when Rock came to Antioch, Syria I opposed him to his face because he was to be found at fault. For before the coming of some from James, he ate with the ethnon [nations, races, non-Jews, gentiles] but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, being afraid of those emergent from the circumcision. And the rest of the Jews hupostello [withheld under {out of sight}, covered or shrank back] with him, so that even Joses Bar Nabas was led away with their hupokrisei [deceit, hypocrisy]. Conversely, when I saw that they not walked straight-footed beside the truth of the euaggelion [good news, gospel, evangel], I said to Rock (in front of all), “If you (being a Jew) did live as a non-Jew and not judaically, why do you show the ethne how to become Judaean?”

 

Luke 6.39: Now, He spoke a parable to them: “I ask whether or not (at all) a blind person is able to show the way to a blind person? Won’t both fall into a hole? A mathetes [learner, pupil, disciple] isn’t above his teacher but having been thoroughly completed, all will be as their teachers. Now, why do you look at the straw in the eye of your brother but not perceive the timber in your own eye? Or how are you able to say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me eject the straw in your eye,’ while you not look at the timber in your own eye. Hupokrita! first eject the timber emergent from your own eye and then (when you recover full vision) eject the straw in your brother’s eye. 

Luke 11.42: [Jesus speaking] “Conversely, woe [grief] to you, Pharisees because you tithe the mint and the rue and every plant and pass by [miss] the krisin [decision, judgment rendered, verdict] and you miss the agapen of Theos. These you must do and likewise, those not aphiemai [send forth, forsake, forgive]. Woe to you Pharisees because you agapate the chief seat in the synagogue and the greetings in the marketplace! Woe to you Pharisee grammateis [writers, recorders, scribes, secretaries], hupokritai! because you are as the hidden tombs and the men are walking all around over them, not knowing they are there.” 

Luke 12: In that the assembled thousands of the throng also trampled down one another, He began to say to His mathetas, “Firstly, pay attention to [guard] yourselves from the ferment [leaven] of the Pharisees which same is hupokrisis. Now, not one thing being completely concealed is [exists], which won’t be uncovered, and private, which won’t be absolutely known. Instead, that as much as you said in obscurity, it will be heard in luminousness and what you spoke to the ear in a private room will be keruchthesetai [proclaimed, heralded] upon the housetops.

 

Luke 12.54: Now, He also said to the throngs, “Whenever you see a cloud arising from the west, you directly say, ‘A thunderstorm is coming’ and it is caused to be so. And whenever a south wind is strongly blowing, you say that it will be glaring [hot] and it is caused to be. Hupokritai! you know how to test the face of the ouranou [elevations, the heavens, the sky, aloft] and the earth but how come you not test this time? Now, why don’t you distinguish the dikaion [equitable, just, right] even off [among] yourselves? For in the manner that you lead away (amidst [with] your adversary) to a chief, in [on] the way give efforts [try] to be released [freed] from him, lest he drag you down toward a judge and the judge will surrender you to the official collector and the official collector throw you into confinement. I say to you, not (in no way) may you issue from there until you give up [pay] the last lepton [cent].”

 

Luke 13.13: And He put His hands on her, and she instantly was straightened up and she glorified Theos. But the director of the synagogue services (being indignant that on the sabbath Jesus had cured the woman) said to the assemblage, “Six days they [there] are in which one must work. Accordingly, in these days be coming to be cured and not on the day of the sabbath.” Accordingly, the Kurios answered him and said, “Hupokrita [Deceiver, Hypocrite]! Don’t each of you, on the sabbath, untie your ox or your ass from the manger and lead them off to give them a drink? Now, this woman being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satanas bound Lo! eighteen years! mustn’t she be loosed from this bond [shackle] on the day of the sabbath?”

 

1st Timothy 4: Now, the Hagios Pneuma distinctly says that (in later times) some will desist from the pisteos [trustworthy, faithful], paying attention to vagrant pneumasi [spirits] and teachings of demons. In pseudologon [lying] hupokrisei, having their conscience cauterized, they are barring marriage and advocating abstaining from foods which Theos made to participation amidst eucharistias [gratefully giving thanks] by those pistois [trustworthy, faithful] and recognizing the truth. For every creation of Theos is kalon [beautiful, virtuous] and not even one thing is to be cast off. Having been received amidst euchariston, it is hagiazetai [made holy, sanctified] via the Logou [Word] of Theos and enteuxis [supplication, prayer]. 

Mark 7.5: Therefore, the Pharisees and the grammateis question Him, “Why don’t Your mathetai walk down to the transmissions of the elders? conversely, they eat bread with unwashed hands.” Now, answering them, He said to them, “Isaiah kalos [beautifully, virtuously] propheteusen [before told, prophesied] concerning you, the hupokriton [stage actors]. Just as it has been written, ‘This people prize Me with their lips but keep their heart far away from Me, but they revere Me in futility, teaching the commands of men as teachings.’” 

1st Peter 2: Accordingly, putting away all kakian [worthlessness], all dolon [decoying, trickery], all hupokriseis and all phthonous [ill will, spite] and all defamation, as newborn infants yearn for true logikon [logical, rational] milk in order that you may grow in it; if perhaps you have tasted that the Kurios is chrestos [useful]. Drawing near to Him (a living Stone), (in fact) under men having been rejected, but in the proximity [sight] of Theos, select [elect] -- precious. You also, as living stones, are being constructed into a spiritual dwelling, a hagion [holy, sacred, consecrated] priestly fraternity, to offer up spiritual sacrifices well-received by Theos via Jesus, the Christou. For this is also included in the Graphe [Scripture, part of Old Testament]: “Lo! I place in Zion an elect, precious Cornerstone. The one pisteuon [having faith] upon Him shan’t at all be shamed down.” 

Matthew 6.2: [Jesus speaking] “Accordingly, when you do compassionate deeds, don’t trumpet before you, just as the hupokritai do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be glorified by men. Amen! I say to you, they have their wages in full. But you (when doing compassionate deeds) not let your left hand know what your right hand does, so that you may do your compassionate deeds in secret and your Father, seeing them in secret, the Same will give back to you in public.” 

Matthew 23.27: [Jesus speaking] “Woe to you! grammateis and Pharisees! hypocritai! because you resemble whitewashed crypts which indeed externally appropriately shine but inside swell out with bones of the dead and all impurity. In this way indeed you also externally shine (as if dikaioi) to men but inside you are replete with hupokriseos and illegality.”
