desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say, nor whereof they confidently affirm.

But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully,

as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and unruly, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

whereunto I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth, I lie not), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

Lay hands hastily on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the life eternal, whereunto thou wast called, and didst confess the good confession in the sight of many witnesses.

laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life which is life indeed.
