"Hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays to virtue." - Doug Wilson, Plodcast, episode 13
You cannot have public virtue without private virtue. No one can be virtuous in public if they are not virtuous in private. If your private wickedness becomes public, your previous public virtue will be discredited. No one can be virtuous in private without Gospel. One can be virtuous in public without the Gospel, but left alone, with no one watching, with no Holy Spirit, no one is virtuous.
