2 Timothy · chapter 3 · verse 5
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.2 Timothy 3:5 · King James Version
2 Timothy 3:5 in context
3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
6For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
