desiring to be law-teachers, not understanding either what they say or concerning what they so strenuously affirm.

Now we know that the law is good if any one uses it lawfully,

knowing this, that law has not its application to a righteous person, but to the lawless and insubordinate, to the impious and sinful, to the unholy and profane, to smiters of fathers and smiters of mothers; to murderers,

to which I have been appointed a herald and apostle, (I speak the truth, I do not lie,) a teacher of the nations in faith and truth.

Lay hands quickly on no man, nor partake in others' sins. Keep thyself pure.

Strive earnestly in the good conflict of faith. Lay hold of eternal life, to which thou hast been called, and hast confessed the good confession before many witnesses.

laying by for themselves a good foundation for the future, that they may lay hold of what is really life.
