Depends on how exactly you define hypocrite. For myself , i define a hypocrite as a person who say one thing, does another, knows it, but doesn't care.
This is different than a person who teaches something, but may struggle with the same thing. But at least they are making efforts to follow what they teach, even if they don't always succeed.

I agree with the definition. Besides that, none on earth, with the exception of the Lord Jesus, is perfect. He also acknowledged human hypocrisy as it could be widely done or misunderstood. The fact of being a Christian person only serves to avoid being wrong all day and year long.
Here are some of his quotations I considered, in bold:
Mat_23:28 So on the outside you look as though you have God's approval, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
Mar_12:15 Jesus recognized their hypocrisy, so he asked them, "Why do you test me? Bring me a coin so that I can look at it."
Mat_6:2 So when you give to the poor, don't announce it with trumpet fanfare. This is what hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets in order to be praised by people. I can guarantee this truth: That will be their only reward.
Mat_6:5 "When you pray, don't be like hypocrites. They like to stand in synagogues and on street corners to pray so that everyone can see them. I can guarantee this truth: That will be their only reward.
Mat_6:16 "When you fast, stop looking sad like hypocrites. They put on sad faces to make it obvious that they're fasting. I can guarantee this truth: That will be their only reward.
Mat_23:13 "How horrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock people out of the kingdom of heaven. You don't enter it yourselves, and you don't permit others to enter when they try.
Mat_23:23 "How horrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You give God one-tenth of your mint, dill, and cumin. But you have neglected justice, mercy, and faithfulness. These are the most important things in Moses' Teachings. You should have done these things without neglecting the others.
Mat_23:25 "How horrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You clean the outside of cups and dishes. But inside they are full of greed and uncontrolled desires.
Mat_23:27 "How horrible it will be for you, scribes and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You are like whitewashed graves that look beautiful on the outside but inside are full of dead people's bones and every kind of impurity.
Mar_7:6 Jesus told them, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites in Scripture: 'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
Luk_12:56 You hypocrites! You can forecast the weather by judging the appearance of earth and sky. But for some reason you don't know how to judge the time in which you're living.
Our duty is working 1st on us. We are also escaping flames.
