4Or to give attention to stories and long lists of generations, from which come questionings and doubts, in place of God's ordered way of life which is in faith;
5But the effect of the order is love coming from a clean heart, and a knowledge of what is right, and true faith:
6From which some have been turned away, giving themselves to foolish talking;
7Desiring to be teachers of the law, though they have no knowledge of what they say or of the statements which they make so certainly.
8We are conscious that the law is good, if a man makes a right use of it,
9With the knowledge that the law is made, not for the upright man, but for those who have no respect for law and order, for evil men and sinners, for the unholy and those who have no religion, for those who put their fathers or mothers to death, for takers of life,
10For those who go after loose women, for those with unnatural desires, for those who take men prisoners, who make false statements and false oaths, and those who do any other things against the right teaching,
