New King James Version NKJV
New Revised Standard NRS
8 But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully,
8
Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it legitimately.
9 knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
9
This means understanding that the law is laid down not for the innocent but for the lawless and disobedient, for the godless and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their father or mother, for murderers,
10 for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,
10
fornicators, sodomites, slave traders, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to the sound teaching
11 according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.
11
that conforms to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.
