Hypocrites are miserable comforters - uncircumcised in the heart, always resisting the Holy Ghost. These are they who are earthy , sensual and devilish - deceiving if it were possible even the elect. But the redeemed of the Lord are purged from all iniquity by fire that they might come forth out of the furnace as gold. Not as the hypocrites who love to be seen and make long prayers with vain repetitions. They flatter and deceive the simple minded for unjust gain. The spoil of the poor garnishes their palatial homes. Woe to the pastors who feed themselves and not the flock!
E K K L E S I A - Apostolic 498
