Paul says it's a warning. There's gonna be people who look really religious, but they've got no power. That's because the power for godliness does not come from human wisdom. It comes only from Jesus Christ. And we fall to the same temptation that Paul is warning about when we have learned to love ourselves more than we learn to love God. When we chase after our own happiness rather than chasing after his holiness. When we want the benefits of faith without surrendering to Jesus.
