It has been argued that since the previous verse has rewards in view that
what is denied the believer in 1 Tim 2:12 is rewards. Thus, the understanding
of the verse is "if we deny Him, He will deny us [rewards]. I'm trying to
determine if the use of ARNEOMAI with the accusative of person alone is
restricted to a denial of relationship or some type of personal denial rather
than denying someone something.
