Actually the purpose of that whole chapter is about not being a hypocrite, being authentic, not being greedy, and having faith. It's a quick < 5-minute read.

Yeah, a bunch of dudes created a book (which costed a fortune or two before typewriter age) to tell everyone to be good just for the sake of it. As plausible as it can get. /s

It’s a medieval gaslightenment and it would be great if people kept it private at least.

PS. purpose is different from meaning, the latter is just a medium for purpose and may be arbitrary.

I feel the same sometimes about people's opinions. Alas, people can say what they want.
