1: γνῶσις

(Strong's #1108 — Noun Feminine — gnosis — gno'-sis )

is translated "science" in the AV of 1 Timothy 6:20; the word simply means "knowledge" (RV), where the reference is to the teaching of the Gnostics (lit., "the knowers") "falsely called knowledge." Science in the modern sense of the word, viz., the investigation, discovery, and classification of secondary laws, is unknown in Scripture. See KNOW , C, No. 1.
