 There is hypocrisy (hupokrisis, G5272) . Hupokrites ( G5273) (hypocrite) is a word with a curious history. It is the noun from the verb hupokrinesthai ( G5271) which means to answer; a hupokrites ( G5273) begins by being an answerer. Then it comes to mean an actor, the man who takes part in the question and answer of the stage. Next it comes to mean a hypocrite, a man who all the time is acting a part and concealing his real motives. The hypocrite is the man whose alleged Christian profession is for his own profit and prestige and not for the service and glory of Christ.
