Discovering Bible Truth

I was reading through Matthew 23:5-7; 13-32 where Jesus is lamblasting the hypocrisy of the Scribes and Pharisees.  As I was reading and looking at the above verses, I began to write down the characteristics of hypocrisy that are mentioned.  I thought I would share them with you. 

1. Hypocrites do what they do so they will be seen by others- vs. 5
2. Hypocrites love the place of prominence- vs. 6
3. Hypocrites love titles- vs. 7
4. Hypocrites hinder others from truly being saved- vs. 13
