Hypocrites lie.

Hypocrites do not tell the truth.

Hypocrites do tell the truth when and only when they have convinced that by doing so they can benefit.

Hypocrites have many forms, but they have one thing in common: Hypocrites do tell the truth when and only when they have convinced that by doing so they can benefit.

Hypocrites have many forms, but always have one thing in common: they essentially have no principle at all. They tell the truth when and only when they feel the truth is on their side, otherwise they would refuse rather than accept the truth, or remain silence even choose to lie for the sake of their own safety if they find they are threatened, even when that threat is at most potential.
