- From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
- Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
- But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
- Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
- For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
|
- For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion,
- wanting to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make confident assertions.
- But we know that the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully,
- realizing the fact that law is not made for a righteous person, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers
- and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching,
