Term derived from the root Heb. hnph, and which carries the sense of contaminate. It is correctly translated with the terms profane, wicked, impious in RVA, BA, DHH (Job 8:13; Job 13:16; Psa 35:16; Pro 22:8; Isa 9:17; Isa 10:6; Isa 32 :6; Isa 33:14). The LXX version uses the gr terms. hypokrinomai which carries the idea of playing a part in a drama; hypokrisis, hypocrisy; hypokrites, hypocrite, which are observed in the NT and translated into Spanish in the same way (Mat 6:2, Mat 6:5, Mat 6:16; Mat 7:5; Mat 23:27-28; Mar 7 :6; Mar 12:15; Luk 12:1, Luk 12:56; Luk 13:15; compare Luk 20:20; Mat 6:1-18; Mat 23:13-36; 2Ti 3:5). The term gr. anypokritos, without hypocrisy (Rom 12:9; 2Co 6:6; 1Ti 1:5; 2Ti 1:5; 1Pe 1:22), is commonly translated as sincere, genuine, not feigned, without pretense (as in BA and KJV ).

Natural ability to skilfully disguise. The hypocrite deceives in such a way that he comes to forge a reputation for being virtuous by being a fraud. The very word hypocrisy (hipokrinomai, judging below) implies sneaky and deceitful thinking.
It is normal that Jesus had them at the center of his sentences, since the Pharisees and the scribes passed for pious and wise, being ignorant and liars. (Matt. ch. 23)

The hypocrite is essentially the man who says things different from what he thinks, in which the way of speaking and acting are not in accordance with his way of being and thinking. Jesus Christ harshly lashed out at the pretending man, who wants to appear to be a saint, when, in reality, he is a perverse man; as a just judge and accuser of others, when, in reality, he is a perverted and blind man. The scribes and the Pharisees are, in the gospels, the most genuine manifestation of hypocrisy (Mt 6,2.5.16; 7,5-6; 16,7; 22,18; 23,13.28; 23.28; 24,51; Lk 6.42; 12.1; 13.15; 20.20).

jupokrisis (uJpovkrisi”, 5272) denotes primarily a response (related to jupokrinomai, to respond); then, dramatic performance, referred to when talking about the actors in dialogue; hence pretense, hypocrisy. It is translated by this term in Mat 23:28; Mark 12.15; Luke 12:1; 1Ti 4:2; plural at 1Pe 2:13: For the passage at Jam 3:17, “nor hypocrisy,” see anupokritos under PRETEND, PRETEND, No. 2.¶
