First get rid of the board. Then you can see to help your brother.<br>\nMatthew 7:5 (TLB)<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who says he is a Christian but doesn\u2019t control his sharp tongue is just fooling himself, and his religion isn\u2019t worth much.<br>\nJames 1:26 (TLB)<\/p>\n<p>You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you, for he wrote, \u2018These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship is a farce, for they teach man-made ideas as commands from God.\u2019<br>\nMatthew 15:7-9 (NLT)<\/p>\n<p>Some of you accuse others of doing wrong. But there is no excuse for what you do. When you judge others, you condemn yourselves, because you are guilty of doing the very same things.<br>\nRomans 2:1 (CEV)<\/p>\n<p>We know that God is right to judge everyone who behaves in this way. Do you really think God won\u2019t punish you, when you behave exactly like the people you accuse?<br>\nRomans 2:2-3 (CEV)<\/p>\n<p>They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride and love pleasure rather than God.<br>\nII Timothy 3:4 (NLT)<\/p>\n<p>They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly.

Will that kind of faith save anyone?<br>\nJames 2:14 (TLB)<\/p>\n<p>They say they know God, but by the way they act, they show that they do not. They are sinful people.

Hypocrites! For you cross land and sea to make one convert, and then you turn that person into twice the child of hell you yourselves are!<br>\nMatthew 23:15 (NLT)<\/p>\n<p>What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore the more important aspects of the law; justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things.<br>\nMatthew 23:23 (NLT)<\/p>\n<p>When you give to someone in need, don\u2019t do as the hypocrites do, blowing trumpets in the synagogues and streets to call attention to their acts of charity!
