Formalism
2 Timothy 3:5
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.


Some may live upon forms, but there is no dying upon forms. Formalists, like Pharaoh's lean kine, are full-fed, yet lean. To pursue the ways of God with a guilty conscience is Satan's great receipt for perpetual failure.



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.
