2 Timothy 3:5
King James Version
11 Jun 2026
“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”
δύναμις
The root of our word dynamite. But dunamis is not explosive destruction — it is the inherent ability to accomplish what needs to be done. Jesus says you will receive this power. Not work for it, earn it or deserve it. Receive it. The Holy Spirit is not a reward. He is a gift.
