1 Timothy 1:10

1 Timothy 1:10

8 But we know that the law is ^agood if one uses it lawfully,

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,

10 for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is¹ contrary to sound doctrine,

11 according to the glorious gospel of the ^ablessed God which was ^bcommitted to my trust.

Glory to God for His Grace

12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has ^aenabled me, ^bbecause He counted me faithful, ^cputting me into the ministry,

13 although ^aI was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an¹ insolent man; but I obtained mercy because ^bI did it ignorantly in unbelief.

For abusers of themselves with men (arsenokoitaiv). Late compound for sodomites. In N.T. only here and I Corinthians 6:9.

Men-stealers (andrapodistaiv). Old word from andrapodizw (from anhr, man, pouv, foot, to catch by the foot), to enslave. So enslavers, whether kidnappers (men-stealers) of free men or stealers of the slaves of other men. So slave-dealers. By the use of this word Paul deals a blow at the slave-trade (cf. Philemon).

Liars (yeustaiv). Old word, see Romans 3:4.

False swearers (epiorkoiv). Old word (epi, orkov, oath). Perjurers. Only here in N.T. For similar lists, see I Corinthians 5:11; I Corinthians 6:9 f.; Galatians 5:19 f.; Romans 1:28 f.; Romans 13:13; Colossians 3:5; Ephesians 5:5; II Timothy 3:2 f.

The sound doctrine (th ugiainoush didaskaliai). Dative case after antikeitai, for which verb see Galatians 5:17 for the conflict between the Spirit and the flesh. "The healthful (ugiainw, old word for being well, as Luke 5:31; III John 1:2, in figurative sense in N.T. only in the Pastorals) teaching." See Titus 1:9; II Timothy 4:3.
