NETBible

They will maintain the outward appearance¹ of religion but will have repudiated its power. So avoid people like these.²

NET Notes

¹tn Or “form.”

¹sn 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).

²tn Grk “and avoid these,” with the word “people” implied.
