Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
All Commentaries on 2 Timothy 3:5 Go To 2 Timothy 3
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
Shut out the evil love of the world so that you may be filled with the love of God. You are a vessel, but you are still full. Pour out what you have that you may receive what you have not…. It is good for us not to love the world in order that the sacraments may not remain in us for our damnation rather than as the mainstays of our salvation. The mainstay of salvation is to have the root of love, to have the power of godliness, not the external form alone. .
