"But we know that the law is good, if a man uses it lawfully,"
— 1 Timothy 1:8, World English Bible
“But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;”
“But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully, ”
“But we know that the law is good if someone uses it legitimately,”
“But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully.”
“We are conscious that the law is good, if a man makes a right use of it,”
“But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;”
but the goal of this command is love, out of a pure heart and a good conscience and sincere faith;
from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned aside to vain talking;
desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor about what they strongly affirm.
But we know that the law is good, if a man uses it lawfully,
as 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,
for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;
according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
