The Samaritan woman was totally caught off guard. She said, 'Wait, you're Jewish and you're actually asking me for water? I'm Samaritan — your people don't even talk to my people.'

I'm talking about the Spirit of truth — the world can't accept him because they don't see him or know who he is. But you know him because he's already with you, and he's going to be in you.

So yeah, follow the good things they teach you to do — but don't copy how they actually live their lives. They're really good at talking the talk, but they don't walk the walk.
