Desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither the things they say, nor those concerning which they confidently affirm.

We know, the law is good, if a man use it lawfully,

Knowing this, that the law doth not lie against a righteous man; but against the lawless and disobedient, against the ungodly and sinners, the unholy and prophane, against killers of their fathers or their mothers, against murderers,

to be testified of in due season, Whereunto I am ordained a preacher and an apostle, (I speak the truth, I lie not) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.

Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither partake of other mens sins; keep thyself pure.

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which thou art called, and hast confessed the good confession before many witnesses.

Treasuring up for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
