3:5They will maintain the outward appearance4 of religion but will have repudiated its power. So avoid people like these.5
Footnotes
- 4 Or “form.” Outward appearance. Paul’s contrast with power in 3:5b shows that he regards this “form” to be outward, one of appearance rather than reality (cf. 1 Cor 4:19–20; 1 Thess 1:5).
- 5 Grk “and avoid these,” with the word “people” implied.
