Vocabulary of the Greek NT

Pallis ad Romans 2:20 regards μόρφωσιν as probably a Stoical term = παίδευσιν, ";education,"; and compares μορφωμένος in MGr applied to a well-educated person. With 2 Timothy 3:5 cf. Philo De Plantat. 70 (ed. Wendland) ἐπεὶ καὶ νῦν εἰσί τινες τῶν ἐπιμορφαζόντων εὐσέβειαν, οἳ τὸ πρόχειρον τοῦ λόγου παρασυκοφαντοῦσι φάσκοντες οὔθ᾽ ὅσιον οὔτ᾽ ἀσφαλὲς εἶναι λέγειν ἀνθρώπου θεὸν κλῆρον. The subst. μόρφωμα is found quinquies in Aquila’s version of the OT : see H R s.v.
