1 Timothy 1:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ They want to be teachers of the Law of Moses. But they don't know what they are talking about, even though they think they do.

⁸ We know the Law is good, if it is used in the right way. ⁹ We also understand it wasn't given to control people who please God, but to control lawbreakers, criminals, godless people, and sinners. It is for wicked and evil people, and for murderers, who would even kill their own parents.
