understanding the fact that law is not enacted for the righteous person [the one in right standing with God], but for lawless and rebellious people, for the ungodly and sinful, for the irreverent and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers,
for sexually immoral persons, for homosexuals, for kidnappers and slave traders, for liars, for perjurers–and for whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine,
according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.
