The Law Is Useful When It Is Used Properly: To Correct The Ungodly
8 Now we know that the Law is good[a] if one is using it lawfully, 9 knowing this: that law is not laid-down[b] for a righteous one but for lawless ones and rebellious ones, ungodly ones and sinful ones, unholy ones and profane[c] ones, father-thrashers[d] and mother-thrashers, man-slayers[e], 10 sexually-immoral ones, homosexuals[f], slave-traders[g], liars, perjurers[h], and if any other thing is contrary to healthy[i] teaching
