Proverbs 11:9

9The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor,
But through knowledge the righteous will be delivered.
-Proverbs 11:9


Hypocrisy is something that we are all familiar with to some regard. That being said, I think that we often do not understand what hypocrisy truly is. It is not simply teaching something and then struggling with it on your own. It is the intentional teaching toward something and intentionally living the opposite way. The words of one who lives like that brings about destruction to his neighbor, for it is not exemplified. However, the one who gains knowledge and walks in righteousness is delivered from that. We can see what our lives should look like from the word of God and emulate that. Do not be thrown off by hypocrisy. Instead, be the example yourself in walking out righteousness genuinely.
