5. Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart and of a good conscience and of faith unfeigned:
6. from which some, having swerved, have turned aside unto vanity of words,
7. desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor from where they affirm.
8. But we know that the law is good, if a man uses it legitimately,
9. knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly sinners, for the evil and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10. for fornicators, for homosexuals, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,
11. according to the gospel of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
12. And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has enabled me, for he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry,
13. who was before a blasphemer and a persecutor and injurious, but I was received unto mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
14. And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
15. This is a faithful saying and worthy of acceptation by all, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am first.
16. But for this cause I was received unto mercy that in me first, Jesus Christ might show forth all clemency, for an example to those who should hereafter believe in him for eternal life.
