Matthew 23:25
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence".
Everything they do and say is motivated by excessive greed only. That is the only motivation they have. They have no other noble cause to live for but for themselves. They put up a pretense as though they are free from sins but everything is hidden deep inside of them. They do not wish to be free from these filth in them. They like the filth. They don't mind the filth as long as they can live luxurious lives in pleasure and their wants. They just love to show off that they are somebody when no one cares to take a second look at them..They cannot be separated from a life full of greed and self-indulgence. They are poor and wretched creatures waiting to be destroyed by God. They will resort to doing just anything so that they could indulge themselves in worldly pleasures, evil pride, arrogant speech, covetousness and so on. So, do not be afraid of them. Those who live like this do not have God with them. Do not believe them when they say they do. God is very very far from them. Test them and you will know it. God has a day of vengeance and a year of retribution for all the evil that they happily did and are continually committing. He has reserved punishment for them. They do not know what is coming ahead of them. Just wait and see this time. They can never defeat God.
Jude 1:14-16
Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men: "See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken against him." These men are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage
