1 Timothy 1:6-11 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

6. Some people have deviated from these and turned to meaningless talk,

7. wanting to be teachers of the law, but without understanding either what they are saying or what they assert with such assurance.

8. We know that the law is good, provided that one uses it as law,

9. with the understanding that law is meant not for a righteous person but for the lawless and unruly, the godless and sinful, the unholy and profane, those who kill their fathers or mothers, murderers,

10. the unchaste, sodomites, kidnapers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is opposed to sound teaching,

11. according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been entrusted.
