NASB | 2 Timothy 3:5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Timothy 3:5 holding to a form of [outward] godliness (religion), although they have denied its power [for their conduct nullifies their claim of faith]. Avoid such people and keep far away from them. |
Bible Question (short): Do you think 2 Tim. 3:5 is nations too? |
Question (full): Hi Nolan, Thank you for your response. I agree with your answer, also that the term 'end times' refers to the time period since Jesus ressurection. I would like to focus in on verse 5, if I may... we are commanded here to turn away from such a people as described in the above passages. "...having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof; from such turn away..." My question to you then is this...do you believe this could also mean our own family? And to extend that question just a bit further...do you believe it could also mean nations and peoples, opposed to just individules? I look forward to your comments. Thanks! coop1 |
