1 TIMOTHY 1:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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,”
understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers — Paul catalogs the law's proper scope: it operates as pedagogue for the unregenerate, condemning external and internal transgressions. The specificity targets actual vices afflicting Timothy's congregation.
