2 Timothy 3:5
Douay-Rheims
Having an appearance indeed of godliness, but denying the power thereof. Now these avoid.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown
form--outward semblance. godliness--piety. denying--rather as Greek, "having denied," that is, renounced. the power--the living, regenerating, sanctifying influence of it. turn away--implying that some of such characters, forerunners of the last days, were already in the Church.
