1 Timothy 1:8-11
1599 Geneva Bible
8 [a]And we know, that the Law is good, if a man use it lawfully.
9 [b]Knowing this, that the Law is not given unto a [c]righteous man, but unto the lawless and disobedient, to the ungodly, and to [d]sinners, to the unholy, and to the profane, to murderers of fathers and mothers, to manslayers,
10 To whoremongers, to buggerers, to menstealers, to liars, to the perjured, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to wholesome doctrine,
11 [e]Which is according to the glorious Gospel of the blessed God, [f]which is committed unto me.
