“You cleanse the outside of the cup and dish; inside you’re filled with plunder and evil” (Luke 11: 39).

Our Lord doesn’t oppose the rituals and rules of the Law.  He stresses something more important:  inner virtue, a spirit of generosity.

St. Paul also speaks of the interior life, a life of faith that gives glory to the true God.  A person’s faith leads him to seek truth, connects him to God—this is righteousness—and leads to action, living according to faith:  devoutly and uprightly.
