2 Timothy 3:5

     5. 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.
