2 Timothy 3:5
New Living Translation (NLT)
5 They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!
"Acting religious" includes going to church, knowing Christian doctrine, using Christian clichés, and following a community's Christian traditions. Such practices can make a person look good, but if the inner attitudes of belief, love, and worship are lacking, the outer appearance is meaningless. Paul warns us not to be deceived by people who only appear to be Christians. It may be difficult to distinguish them from true Christians at first, but their daily behavior will give them away.
