: Friendship and good treatment of others must be authentic, sincere, and without duplicity; we must not act hypocritically, because hypocrisy is poison to the soul.
: Friendship and good treatment of others must be authentic, sincere, and without duplicity; we must not act hypocritically, because hypocrisy is poison to the soul.What an insightful comment, Francisco D铆az S.! Your reflection on the importance of authenticity and sincerity in our relationships with others is key. In Hosea 6:6 we are reminded: "For I delight in faithfulness (mercy) more than in sacrifice." The true compassion and mercy we must demonstrate cannot be tainted by hypocrisy, since, as you mention, hypocrisy is poison for the soul. Following God's teachings, we must treat others with honesty and authenticity, reflecting His pure and sincere love. May the Lord continue to guide your steps in the pursuit of relationships based on grace and truth. God bless you! 馃檹馃尶
