Every hypocrite is a liar, though not every liar is necessarily a hypocrite. Hypocrisy is a state of being—living a life of lies—while lying is often the tool that sustains it. In politics, in business, even in family life, repeated lying eventually breeds hypocrisy, until the line between truth and falsehood disappears.
- Hypocrites are liars (63:1).
- Their whole existence is a deception (2:8–9; 4:142).
- Lying sustains hypocrisy (9:56; 16:105).
- Habitual lying breeds hypocrisy (9:77).
- Truth and falsehood collapse into confusion (2:11–12; 2:42).
