6 De lo cual distrayéndose algunos, se apartaron á vanas pláticas;
6
Some have departed from these and have turned to meaningless talk.
7 Queriendo ser doctores de la ley, sin entender ni lo que hablan, ni lo que afirman.
7
They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.

8
We know that the law is good if one uses it properly.
9 Conociendo esto, que la ley no es puesta para el justo, sino para los injustos y para los desobedientes, para los impíos y pecadores, para los malos y profanos, para los parricidas y matricidas, para los homicidas,
9
We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers,
10 Para los fornicarios, para los sodomitas, para los ladrones de hombres, para los mentirosos y ladrones de hombres, para los mentirosos y fjperjuros, y si hay alguna otra cosa contraria á la sana doctrina;
10
for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine

12 Y doy gracias al que me fortificó, á Cristo Jesús nuestro Señor, de que me tuvo por fiel, poniéndome en el ministerio:
12
I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service.
13 Habiendo sido antes blasfemo y perseguidor é injuriador: mas fuí recibido á misericordia, porque lo hice con ignorancia en incredulidad.
13
Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.
14 Mas la gracia de nuestro Señor fué más abundante con la fe y amor que es en Cristo Jesús.
14
The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
15 Palabra fiel y digna de ser recibida de todos: que Cristo Jesús vino al mundo para salvar á los pecadores, de los cuales yo soy el primero.
15
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.
16 Mas por esto fuí recibido á misericordia, para que Jesucristo mostrase en mí el primero toda su clemencia, para ejemplo de los que habían de creer en él para vida eterna.
16
But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life.
