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 that the Law is good, if it is used in the right way. ⁹ We also understand that 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. ¹⁰ The Law was written for people who are sexual perverts or who live as homosexuals or are kidnappers or liars or won't tell the truth in court. It is for anything else that opposes the correct teaching ¹¹ of the good news that the glorious and wonderful God has given me. ¹² I thank Christ Jesus our Lord. He has given me the strength for my work because he knew that he could trust me.
