Danger of the Office of Preacher
Dean Hook. 2 Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. There is always danger to those who have to talk much about religion that their religion may become that of the head, rather than the true religion of the heart. I have found it necessary myself to dedicate an hour or two at midnight to serious meditation, self-examination, and prayer. (Dean Hook.) Parallel Verses KJV: Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. WEB: holding a form of godliness, but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also.
