We should avoid hypocrisy and disobedience to God's laws, even in matters we may deem insignificant. Staying honest and faithful in our worship will help us maintain a close relationship with Jehovah. (Isa. 29:13; Jas. 1:5-8)
What conduct do we need to avoid?Those who ‘speak the truth in their heart’ do not pretend to be obedient in public while breaking God’s laws in secret. (Isa. 29:13) They avoid acting deviously. A devious person may begin to doubt the wisdom of some of Jehovah’s regulations. (Jas. 1:5-8) He may disobey Jehovah on matters that seem to him to be of little importance. Then if there appear to be no consequences for his disobedience, he may be emboldened to violate God’s laws further, and his worship would become hypocritical. (Eccl. 8:11) We, however, want to be honest in all things.
Make a comment very short and understandable, use the JW bible
