Pretending to be a Saint

“He that pretends to be a saint, while he sneers at the Ten Commandments, and thinks nothing of lying, hypocrisy, swindling, ill-temper, slander, drunkenness, and breach of the seventh commandment [“thou shalt not commit adultery”], is under a fearful delusion. He will find it hard to prove that he is a “saint” in the last day!” (J. C. Ryle, Holiness, 27)
