Sure does talk about them and this is what it says...
EVIL
Although there are sorted types of religious leaders who set themselves up, high upon their perches, receiving praise and even worship from innocent people, the emphatic cry from the pages of God's Holy Word is "...there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:22-23). Do not be fooled by the pious mask of these religious hypocrites. From cover to cover, the Bible consistently, without room for exception, declares that the heart in every man (rich or poor, honored or despised) is wretched and evil. In Jeremiah 17:9, the Scriptures declare, "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked:".
There is nothing more evil than the hypocrite. Long robes and fancy vestments only add to the hypocrisy of the religious deceiver. The Bible says that they "by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple." (Romans 16:18) The hypocrites tell people that good works can lead a man to heaven. They say a man can please God through church attendance, keeping church rituals, or merely by living a moral life. Jesus called them vipers, children of the devil. He said they themselves shall not "escape the damnation of hell." Speaking face to face with the religious hypocrite of His day, Jesus said, "But woe unto you,..., hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in." (Matthew 23:13)
Don't follow religious hypocrites who set themselves up as infallible, sinless beings and tell you that their religion is the key to heaven. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6)
The only righteous one that ever lived was our Blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The Bible says He alone was "...holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners," (Hebrews 7:26). The Lord Jesus was the only one, "Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:" (I Peter 2:22).
Jesus Christ paid for your salvation on the cross of Calvary when He cried, "It is finished." He did all the work! All you need to do is call unto Him. You must admit that you are a sinner, repent of your sinful condition, and t5rust in the Lord Jesus Christ alone as your Savior.
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13

Jesus said if your eye be single your whole body shall be full of light,meaning if you keep your mind on your own business you shall have all the help of God you need.Do you want Gods help?If you do then keep your eye single.

WE HAVE ALL SINNED AND FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD.
TO ONE MAN SIN IS EATING MEAT ,TO ANOTHER IT IS NOTSIN.
GOD WILL JUDGE EACH MAN ACCORDING TO THERE WORKS.
NOT SALVATION-THAT IS A FREE GIFT FROM JESUS.
SOME PEOPLE HAVE NOT CONTROL OVER THEIR FLESH,
WE PRAY FOR THEM.
LOOK TOWARD GOD--NOT AT MAN.
GOD IS PERFECT-MAN IS NOT.
