17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil Try to do what is honorable in everyone's eyes.

#.
We must be sincere and not hypocrites.
#.
Hypocrisy can be defined as: Repenting on Sunday for the sins that you committed on Saturday and that you will commit again on Monday.
#.
Webster defines hypocrite as: /a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion/
#.
Jesus despised hypocrites.
* i.
**Matthew 23 - Religious Hypocrites Denounced*
1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples: 2"The scribes and the Pharisees are seated in the chair of Moses.
3Therefore do whatever they tell you and observe [it].
But *don't* do what they do, because they don't practice what they teach.
4They tie up heavy loads that are hard to carry and put them on people's shoulders, but they themselves aren't willing to lift a finger to move them.
5aThey do everything to be observed by others:
#.
We shouldn’t be “showy” Christians
/ i.
//Read other passages from Matthew 23: Examples of the Pharisees doing things for show./
5bThey enlarge their phylacteries (fa-'lak-trEs ) and lengthen their tassels.
6They love the place of honor at banquets, the front seats in the synagogues, 7greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called ' Rabbi' by people.
* ii.
**Christ said: Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
Then he called them "Snakes! and Brood of vipers!*
iii.
Mathew 6:
1. 5"Whenever you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by people.
I assure you: They've got their reward!
\\ #.
We must Practice what we preach.
Otherwise we need to practice authenticity not artificiality.
#.
A.W. Tolzer Once said that: / i.
//Artificiality is one curse that will drop away the moment we kneel at Jesus' feet and surrender ourselves to His meekness.
Then we will not care what people think of us so long as God is pleased./
#.
Some of us have a problem with this, we have a longing for acceptance from our peers and it becomes easier to pretend to satisfy those around us.
#.
Even Peter failed at practicing what he preached
i.
(John 13:37-38) 37 "Lord," Peter asked, "why can't I follow You now?
I will lay down my life for You!" \\ 38 Jesus replied, "Will you lay down your life for Me?
I assure you: A rooster will not crow until you have denied Me three times.

#.

To Truly Worship we must Confess our sin.
