1 Timothy / Question
Question source
1 Timothy
Paul says the law is good if it is used lawfully, and that it is laid down not for the just but for the lawless and disobedient. He lists examples of sins it addresses and ties this to sound doctrine and the gospel. See 1 Timothy 1:8–11.
8But we know that the law is good, if a man uses it lawfully,
9as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;
11according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
