2 Timothy 3:2 "For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. 3 They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. 4 They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. 5 They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!"
O: Paul was saying people can live in such a way that they can reject the power of God to make them Christ like. It seems he is saying the way you do this is if you are unforgiving, boastful, and living for pleasure, and turning on your friends.
A/P: Jesus, you make the power of God available to us to live a Godly life. Help me not to reject this power by the way I live. It seems like it could be a vicious cycle of sorts in either direction. Help me to be transformed by your power, so that I can live a Godly life.
