1 Timothy 1:5-11
New King James Version
1 Timothy 1:5-11
New King James Version
5 Now (A)the purpose of the commandment is love (B)from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from [a]sincere faith, 6 from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to (C)idle talk, 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.
8 But we know that the law is (D)good if one uses it lawfully, 9 knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 10 for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is [b]contrary to sound doctrine, 11 according to the glorious gospel of the (E)blessed God which was (F)committed to my trust.

1 Timothy 1:5-11
New International Version
5 The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart(A) and a good conscience(B) and a sincere faith.(C) 6 Some have departed from these and have turned to meaningless talk. 7 They want to be teachers(D) of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.(E)
8 We know that the law is good(F) if one uses it properly. 9 We also know that the law is made not for the righteous(G) but for lawbreakers and rebels,(H) the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine(I) 11 that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.(J)

King James Version
1 Timothy 1:5-11
King James Version
5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
9 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,
10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
