6 from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to aidle talk,
7 desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.
8 But we know that the law is agood if one uses it lawfully,
9 knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is1 contrary to sound doctrine,
11 according to the glorious gospel of the ablessed God which was bcommitted to my trust.
Glory to God for His Grace
12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has aenabled me, bbecause He counted me faithful, cputting me into the ministry,
13 although aI was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an1 insolent man; but I obtained mercy because bI did it ignorantly in unbelief.
