‏ 1 Timothy 1:9-10

v. 9: Paul explains that the law is not made for people who always do what is right, but for those who do wrong (1 Timothy 1:9-10 ^a). The law is meant to restrain evil, especially all kinds of sinful behavior listed in these verses. The law shows people that they are sinners and need God’s help.

v. 10: Paul continues the list of sins that the law speaks against, including sexual sins, lying, and other things that are against sound teaching. Anything that goes against the healthy teaching of the Bible is wrong. The law helps us see what is not pleasing to God.
