1 Timothy 1:8-11
New American Standard Bible
8 But we know that (A)the Law is good, if one uses it lawfully, 9 realizing the fact that (B)law is not made for a righteous person but for those who are lawless and (C)rebellious, for the (D)ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and (E)worldly, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for the [a](F)sexually immoral, (G)homosexuals, [b](H)slave traders, (I)liars, (J)perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to (K)sound teaching, 11 according to (L)the glorious gospel of (M)the blessed God, with which I have been (N)entrusted.

1 Timothy 1:8-11
New Living Translation
8 We know that the law is good when used correctly. 9 For the law was not intended for people who do what is right. It is for people who are lawless and rebellious, who are ungodly and sinful, who consider nothing sacred and defile what is holy, who kill their father or mother or commit other murders. 10 The law is for people who are sexually immoral, or who practice homosexuality, or are slave traders,[a] liars, promise breakers, or who do anything else that contradicts the wholesome teaching 11 that comes from the glorious Good News entrusted to me by our blessed God.
