The priest shall examine the sore on the skin of the flesh; and if the hair on the sore has turned white, and the sore appears to be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a leprous sore. Then the priest shall examine him, and pronounce him unclean.

Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:

These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.

You have neither part nor portion in this matter, for your heart is not upright before God.

For many conduct themselves, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ:

whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and who glory in their shame; who set their mind on earthly things.

While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage.
