Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayer: therefore ye shall
receive the greater damnation.
Matthew 23:14
"Men may profess faith in the truth;
but if it does not make them
sincere,
kind,
patient,
forbearing,
heavenly-minded,
it is a curse to its possessors, and through their influence it is a curse to the world."
The Desire of Ages p.309 E.G.W.
