Matthew 23:14 Hypocrites shall be double damned! The hottest and the darkest place in hell is reserved for them! For number and weight, there are no torments in hell, compared to the torments of hypocrites. Counterfeit sanctity is double iniquity--and therefore it is but justice that the hypocrite should have double torment. ======================================================================== Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/thomas-brooks/the-hottest-and-the-darkest-place-in-hell/ ========================================================================
