gh unto me with their mouth, and honoreth me with their lips ; but theirheart is far from w/t. Matt. 15:7, 8. J- How had the Saviour shown that their hearts were not with theLord? For God commanded^ saying, Honor thy father and mother. . . . But ye say,Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoeverthou mightest be profited by me ; and honor not his father or his mother, heshall be free. YVtus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect byyour tradition. Verses 4-6. In other words, these people claimed to beGods servants, but changed the commandments of God to their liking, andthus destroyed their force upon the heart and life. Their hypocrisy madethem do it. 4. What other sign of insincerity did they manifest ? And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are ; for they love topray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that theymay be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.Matt. 6 : 5. (517)
