Context — The Purpose of the Lawgenerated
1 Timothy 1:9 clarifies that the law is not intended for the righteous but serves as a guideline for those who are lawless and rebellious. Paul emphasizes the law's role in identifying sin and the need for redemption, contrasting the righteous with various categories of wrongdoers. This context is crucial for understanding the relationship between law, sin, and grace in the Christian faith.

The Key Word — νόμος, nomosgenerated
The Greek word νόμος (i.e., *nomos*) refers to a law or set of rules, often associated with divine commandments. It encompasses various meanings, including the Mosaic law and principles of Christian conduct. The parsing indicates it is a singular masculine noun, suggesting a specific law or legal framework in view.
In this verse, νόμος functions as the subject of the sentence, indicating that the law is not intended for the righteous but for those who violate it. This highlights the law's purpose in addressing wrongdoing and its role in moral accountability.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered similarly across translations, with the Berean Standard Bible stating that the law is not enacted for the righteous, a sentiment echoed in the KJV and ASV. Each version maintains the core message regarding the law's intended audience.
However, some translations differ in their choice of words. For example, YLT uses 'set' instead of 'enacted', while BBE emphasizes the lack of respect for law and order. Such variations reflect different approaches to conveying the same underlying concept.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main finite verb is κεῖται, is enacted, which governs the structure of the sentence. The subject, νόμος, law, is followed by a series of phrases that elaborate on the types of individuals for whom the law is intended.
The sentence includes multiple clauses and phrases that detail the categories of people, such as the lawless, ungodly, and murderers, indicating the law's role in addressing various forms of wrongdoing.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
νόμος appears in the Septuagint as a translation of the Hebrew word תּוֹרָה (Torah), which signifies instruction or law. This connection emphasizes the continuity of legal and moral guidance from the Old Testament to the New.
In the LXX, νόμος is often associated with divine commandments, reinforcing its significance in understanding God's expectations for His people.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
1 Timothy 1:9 explains that the law is not meant for those who are righteous but for those who break the law, including the lawless and rebellious. Paul lists various types of wrongdoers to illustrate the law's purpose in highlighting sin and the need for God's grace.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated

Now it is true, the holiness commanded in the law, that, consists in the love of God and our neighhour, obliges every reasonable creature indispensably and eternally; but as the law was delivered in so terrible a manner, as it has annexed so many severe threatenings to the transgressors of it, it…

The law lieth not upon the righteous (so the Greek soundeth), it urgeth not upon them, as it doth upon the wicked.

The law is not made for a righteous man] There is a moral law as well as a ceremonial law: as the object of the latter is to lead us to Christ; the object of the former is to restrain crimes, and inflict punishment on those that commit them. It was, therefore, not made for the righteous as a restrainer of crimes, and an inflicter of punishments; for the righteous avoid sin, and by living to the glory of God expose not themselves to its censures. This seems to be the mind of the apostle; he does not say that the law was not MADE for a righteous man, but ουκειται, it does not LIE against a righteous man; because he does not transgress it: but it lies against the wicked; for such as…

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.

The Greek word οὗτος (i.e., *houtos*) is a demonstrative pronoun meaning 'this' or 'this one.' It is used to refer to something nearby or recently mentioned, often with a connotation of contempt in certain contexts. In the New Testament, it appears in various forms, such as in Matthew 3:17 and John 1:15, and can also serve to emphasize or clarify a subject.

The Greek word ὅτι (hoti) is a conjunction primarily meaning 'that' or 'because.' It introduces objective clauses, often following verbs of perception or declaration, and can also serve as a causal particle. The New Testament frequently employs it in this way, such as in Matthew 5:4-12. There is some variation in how lexicons describe its usage, particularly regarding its pleonastic function in direct discourse.

δίκαιος is an adjective meaning 'righteous' or 'just,' derived from the concept of δίκη, which refers to justice or right. It describes individuals or things that align with divine standards of morality and duty. In the New Testament, it is used to refer to God, Christ, and various righteous individuals, as seen in passages like Romans 3:26 and Matthew 1:19. The term can also imply innocence or fairness.
δίκαιος, -α, -ον
(< δίκη),
[in LXX chiefly for צַדִּיק (for rendering of צַדִּיק in sense of correct, v. Deiss., BS, 115 f.); sometimes for נָקִי as Pr 1:11, al. ;]
in early Gk. writers
of persons, observant of δίκη, custom, rule, right, righteous in performing duties to gods and men ;
of things, righteous, in accordance with right.
In NT
righteous, chiefly in the broad sense, as above, of the person or thing corresponding to the Divine standard of right
δίκαιος, -aia, -αιον, (fr. δίκη right), [fr. Hom. down], prop. the Hebr. pas, observant of ἡ δίκη, righteous, observing divine and human laws; one who is such as he ought to be; (Germ. rechtbeschaffen; in the earlier laneuage, whence appropriated by Luther, gerecht in a broad sense; in Grk. writ. used even of physical things, as ἵππος, Xen. mem. 4, 4,5; γήδιον δικαιότατον, most fertile, Xen. Cyr. 8, 3, 38; [ἅρμα δίκαιον, ib. 2, 2, 26]); al in a wide sense, upright, righteous, virtuous, keeping the commands of God; a. univ.: Mt. i. 19 (the meaning is, it was not consistent with his uprightness to expose his betrothed to public reproach); Mt. x. 41; xiii. 43, 49; xxiii. 28; xxv. 37,46; Lk. i. 6,17; xiv. 145 xviii. 9; xx. 20; Ro. v. 7 [ef.

The adjective is applied to a ‘‘just measure” (μετρήσει δ.) ΒΡ. Denn Si(p: cheno) atose4n (BiG 108) Εἴδι, anda “ust rule” (σκυτάλη δ.) P Rein 20% (p.c. 108).

Deissmann BS, p. 116. In P Petr IL. 28 011. 6 (taxing account—iii/B.c.) we hear of a δικαίου νήσου. The neuter is very largely used substantially, for ‘‘ duty,” Thus in P Petr II. 1027 the royal gooseherds make petition that certain grievances be set right, ἵνα δυνώμεθα τὰ δίκαια ποιεῖν τῶι βασιλεῖ, ‘in order that we may be able to do our duty to…

νόμος refers to a law or custom, derived from the idea of distribution. It encompasses various meanings, including general law, the Mosaic law, and Christian teachings. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts such as the law of Moses and principles of Christian conduct. Notably, it is used in verses like Romans 3:27 and Galatians 6:2.

Law
A rule of action. (1.) The Law of Nature is the will of God as to human conduct, founded on the moral difference of things, and discoverable by natural light (Rom. 1:20; 2:14, 15). This law binds all men at all times. It is generally designated by the term conscience, or the capacity of being influenced by the moral relations of things.
(2.) The Ceremonial Law prescribes under the Old Testament the rites and ceremonies of worship. This law was obligatory only till Christ, of whom these rites were typical, had finished his work (Heb. 7:9, 11; 10:1; Eph. 2:16). It was fulfilled rather than abrogated by the gospel.
(3.) The Judicial Law, the law which directed the civil policy of the Hebrew nation.
The word is properly used, in Scripture as elsewhere, to express a definite commandment laid down by any recognized authority; but when the word is used with the article, and without any words of limitation, it refers to the expressed will to God, and in nine cases out of ten to the Mosaic law, or to the Pentateuch of which it forms the chief portion. The Hebrew word torah (law) lays more stress on its moral authority, as teaching the truth and guiding in the right way; the Greek nomos (law), on its constraining power as imposed and enforced by a recognized authority. The sense of the word, however, extends its scope and assumes a more abstracts character in the writings of St. Paul. Nomos , when used by him with the article, still refers in general to the law of Moses; but when used without the article, so as to embrace any manifestation of "law," it includes all powers which act on…
In the Bible, signifies sometimes the whole word of God, Ps 19:7-11 119:1-176 Isa 8:20; sometimes the Old Testament, Joh 10:34 15:25, and sometimes the five books of Moses, which formed the first of the three divisions of the Hebrew Scriptures, Lu 24:44 Ac 13:15. The Pentateuch was probably "the law," a copy of which every king was to transcribe for himself and study, and which was to be made known to young and old, in public and in private, De 6:7 17:18,19 31:9-19,26. In other places the Mosaic institutions as a whole are intend by "the law," in distinction from the…

The Greek word οὐ (transliterated as ou) is a primary negative particle meaning 'not' or 'no.' It is used to negate verbs or statements, often appearing in various forms depending on the following sound. In the New Testament, it frequently serves to deny facts and is distinct from another negative particle, μή (transliterated as mē), which is used for prohibitions or wishes.
οὐ, before a vowel with smooth breathing οὐκ, before one with rough breathing οὐχ (but improperly οὐχ ἰδού, Ac 2:7, WH, mg.; cf. WH, Intr., § 409; M, Pr., 44, 244),

not, no, used generally c. indic. and for a denial of fact (cf . μή);
absol. (accented), οὔ, no: Mt 13:29, Jo 1:21 21:5; οὒ οὔ, Mt 5:37, Ja 5:12.
οὐ before a consonant, οὐκ before a vowel with a smooth breathing, and ody before an aspirated vowel ; but sometimes in the best codd. οὐχ occurs even before a smooth breathing; accordingly LT WH mrg. have adopted οὐχ ἰδού, Acts ii. 7; LT οὐχ ᾿Ιουδαϊκῶς, Gal. ii. 14 (see WH. Introd. § 409); L οὐχ ὀλίγος, Acts xix. 23; οὐχ ἠγάπησαν, Rev. xii. 11; and contrariwise οὐκ before an aspirate, as οὐκ ἕστηκεν, Jn. viii. 44 T; [οὐκ ἕνεκεν, 2 Co. vii. 12 T]; (οὐκ εὗρον, Lk. xxiv. 3; [οὐκ ὑπάρχει, Acts iii. 6] in cod. x [alsoC*; ef. cod.

κεῖμαι, transliterated as keimai, is a verb meaning to lie or be laid down, often used in a passive sense. It encompasses various contexts, including lying down as a person or object, being situated, or being appointed for a purpose. In the New Testament, it appears in references to an infant (Lk 2:12), a dead body (Mt 28:6), and metaphorically to describe laws or states of being (1 Tim 1:9, 1 Jn 5:19).

The Greek word ἄνομος (anomos) is built from the negative prefix ἄ and νόμος (law), meaning 'lawless' or 'wicked.' It describes someone who is not subject to the law, often used in a moral context, such as a sinner or transgressor. The New Testament uses it in various passages, including references to lawlessness in relation to both Gentiles and wickedness.
ἄνομος, -ov, (νόμος) ; 1. destitute of (the Mosaic) law: used of Gentiles, 1 Co. ix. 21, (without any suggestion of ‘iniquity’; just asin Add. to Esth. iv. 42, where ἄνομοι ἀπερίτμητοι and ἀλλότριοι are used together). 2. departing from the law, a violator of the law, lawless, wicked; (Vulg. iniquus; [also injustus]): Mk. xv. 28 [Β LTrbr.]; Lk. xxii. 37; Acts ii. 23, (so in Grk. writ.) ; opp. to ὁ δίκαιος, 1 Tim.i.9; ὁ ἄνομος (κατ᾽ ἐξοχήν). he in whom all iniquity has as it were fixed its abode, 2 Th. ii.8; ἄν. ἔργον an unlawful deed, 2 Pet. ii. 8; free from law, not subject to law, [Vulg. sine lege]: μὴ ὧν ἄνομος θεοῦ [B. 169 (147)] (Rec. θεῷ), 1 Co. ix. 21. (Very often in Sept.) [Sy¥n. see ἀνομία, fin.]
ἄνομος. P Oxy II. 237% (a.p. 186), the Dionysia petition, has ἀνόμου κατοχῆς, ‘‘an illegal claim.” ἀνομία and ἀδικία may be seen in the associated adjectives of P Lond 35819 (c. a.p. 150) (=II. p. 172), where ἄνομα καὶ ἄδικα are complained of. Cf. 70.57 10473 τοῦ ἀνόμου Τυφῶνος. For the adverb see Magd 6" (8.6. 221) μὴ περιιδεῖμ με ἀνόμως ὑβριζόμενον ὑπὸ τῶν ποιμένων, and BGU IV. 1200°° (B.c. 2-1) ἐξουσίαν ἔχοντες τῶι ᾿Ασκληπιάδου a. ἀποδέδωκαν κτλ. The construction in 1 Cor 951 μὴ Oy ἄνομος θεοῦ is illustrated in Profeg. p. 235 f. The verb ἀνομέω as a transitive appears in P Par 3748 (ii/B.c.) ἀξιῶ... μὴ ὑπεριδεῖν με ἠνομημένον καὶ ἐγκεκλειμένον : cf. 26. 35°4 (by the same writer), with the same combination in the present (passive). The closeness of avoobow occurs in the fragmentary P Lips I. 119 recto (A.D. 274) τ]ῶν ἁμαρτιῷ[ν] τὰς πονηρίας συνεχῶϊς ἀϊνορθουμένων. For the sense of…

δέ (de) is a post-positive particle in Greek, primarily used as a conjunction to connect clauses. It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word ἀνυπότακτος (i.e., *anupotaktos*) is formed from a negative prefix and a root meaning 'to subject.' It describes things that are not made subject or persons who are unruly and insubordinate. The New Testament uses it in Hebrews 2:8 and in 1 Timothy 1:9 and Titus 1:6, 10, where it conveys a sense of disobedience or lack of control.
ἀνυπότακτος, -ov, (a priv. and ὑποτάσσω) ; 1. [passively] not made subject, unsubjected : Heb. ii. 8, [Artem. oneir. 2, 30]. 2. [actively] that cannot be subjected to control, disobedient, unruly, refractory: 1 Tim.i.9 ; Tit. i. 6, 10, ([Epict. 2, 10,1; 4, 1, 161; Philo, quis rer. div. her. § 1]; διήγησις ἀνυπ. a narrative which the reader cannot classify, i. 6. confused, Polyb. 3, 36, 4; 3,38,4; 5, 21, 4).
ἀνυπότακτος. In the great Paris magic papyrus (edited by Wessely, Wien. Denkschr. XXXVI. ii. pp. 44 ff.) 1367 we find ἀνυποτάκτους following σιδηροψύχους ἀγριοθύμους. Moeris (ed. Pierson), p. 34, defines ἀφηνιαστής by ἀνυπότακτος, ὑπερήφανος. See further Nageli, p. 45. ἄνω.

The Greek word ἀσεβής (*asebēs*) is built from the root σέβω (*sebō*), meaning to reverence, with a negative prefix. It covers meanings such as ungodly, impious, and wicked. The New Testament references include Romans 4:5, 5:6, 1 Timothy 1:9, and others. Notably, Liddell-Scott-Jones lists additional nuances like profane and sacrilegious.
ἀσεβής, -és, (σέβω to reverence); fr. Aeschyl. and Thue. down, Sept. for pw; destitute of reverential awe towards God, contemning God, impious: Ro. iv. 5; v. 63 1 Tim. i. 9 (joined here with ἁμαρτωλός, as in 1 Pet. iv. 18); 2 Pet. ii. 5; iii. 7; Jude 4, 15.
ἀσεβής is found in P Tor I, 11:8 (B.c. 116) (= Chrest II. p. 33) τὴν γεγενημένην μοι καταφθορὰν ὑπὸ ἀσεβῶν ἀνθρώπων, and in the magical P Lond 1214 (iii/A.p.) (=I. p. 103). It occurs also in Sy// 789% (iv/B.c.) ὅπ]ως ἂ[ν] . . . μ[ηδ]ὲν ἀσεβὲς γένηται, and twice in OG/S go** 25 (Rosetta stone, B.C. 196) τοῖς ἐπισυναχθεῖσιν εἰς αὐτὴν ἀσεβέσιν. . . τοὺς ἐν αὐτῆι ἀσεβεῖς πάντας διέφθειρεν of those who had created sedition, involving the majesty of the θεός on the throne, as Dittenberger explains. Several exx. of the adjective in Josephus are put together by Schmidt /os. p. 357. For the adverb, see P Oxy II. 237% 38 (a.p. 186) ἀσεβῶς καὶ παρανόμως.

un-god'-li (rasha` (Ps 1:1), "wicked," beliya`al (2Sa 22:5), "worthless"; in the New Testament asebes (Ro 5:6), e.g. indicating that the persons so called are both irreverent and impious): Trench says that the idea of active opposition to religion is involved in the word, that it is a deliberate withholding from God of His dues of prayer and of service; a standing, so to speak, in battle array against God and His claims to respect, reverence and obedience. Those whose sins are particularly aggravating and deserving of God's wrath are the "ungodly." And yet it is for such that Jesus Christ died (Ro 5:6).

The Greek word ἁμαρτωλός (i.e., *hamartolos*) means 'sinful' or 'a sinner.' It is derived from the verb ἁμαρτάνω and is used in the New Testament to refer to all people as sinners, as well as to those particularly wicked. Notably, it appears in verses like Matthew 9:10-13. The lexicons indicate a range of meanings from general sinfulness to specific vices.
ἁμαρτωλός, -όν
(< ἁμαρτάνω),
[in LXX chiefly for רשׁﬠ;]
sinful, a sinner: of all men, I Ti 1:15; of those especially wicked, I Ti 1:9, I Pe 4:18; p1., Mt 9:10-13 11:19 26:45, al. (v. MM, VGT, s.v.; Cremer, 102, 634)
ἁμαρτωλός, -ov, (fr. the form ἁμάρτω, as φείδωλος from φείδομαι), devoted to sin, a (masc. or fem.) sinner. In the N.

The Greek word ἀνόσιος (*anosios*) is built from the negative prefix ἀ- and the root ὅσιος, meaning unholy or profane. It is used in the New Testament in 1 Timothy 1:9 and 2 Timothy 3:2, describing something or someone that is wicked or impious. The term also appears in various ancient texts, often related to corpses or actions lacking proper rites.
ἀν-ὀσιος, -ov, (a priv. and ὅσιος, q. v.), unholy, impious, wicked: 1 Tim. i. 9; 2 Tim. iii. 2. (In Grk. writ. from ΓΑ βοῦν]. and] Hat. down.)
ἀνόσιος. This adjective, which in the NT is confined to 1 Tim 13, 2 Tim 35, is frequently applied to the Jews in connexion with the great Jewish war in Egypt A.D. 115-7. See eg. P Giss I. 41% 4 παρὰ τὴν τῶν ἀνοσίων [᾿Του]δαίω[ν ἔφοδον, with the editor's introduction. So P Brem 405 (Trajan) (= Chrest.

The Greek word βέβηλος (bebelos) is derived from the root meaning 'to tread' and conveys the idea of being accessible or permitted for use. It generally refers to what is profane or unhallowed, contrasting with sacredness, and is used in the New Testament to describe both things and people that are secular or unholy, as seen in 1 Timothy 4:7 and Hebrews 12:16.
βέβηλος, -ον

The Greek word πατρολῴας (patraloas) means 'murderer of fathers' or 'parricide.' It is derived from the roots for 'father' and a term related to killing. This term appears in the New Testament in 1 Timothy 1:9. There are variations in spelling, such as πατραλῴας and πατραλοίας, but they refer to the same concept.
* πατραλῴας, v.s. πατρολῴας.
πατραλῴας (Attic πατραλοίας, Arstph., Plat., Dem. p. 732, 14; Aristot., Leian.), LT Tr WH πατρολῴας (see μητραλῴας). -ov, 6, α parricide: 1 Tim. i. 9.
πατρολῴας, ‘*q parricide,”’ is confined in the NT to 1 Tim 1°, where TR reads watpadwas. With the list of vices in which it occurs Deissmann (ZA ΕΚ, p. 321 f.) compares the ‘‘scolding” of Ballio the pander in Plaut. Psewd. I. iii. 134, where it is said to the parricida—verberasti patrem atque matrem, with the scornful answer—a/gue occidé quogue potius quam cthum praehiberem. The classical πατραλοίας seems to make ‘ father-thrasher”’ (ἀλο(ι)άω) the original meaning.
πατραλῴας (patralōas) — patricide.
πατρ-ᾰλοίας,
genitive α and ου, ὁ, vocative -αλοῖα: (άω):— one who slays or strikes his father, parricide, [Refs 5th c.BC+]:—sometimes written πατραλῴας or πατρολῴας(πατρ-λώας, πατρ-λόας) in codices, as [NT+1st c.AD+]

Man
(1.) Heb. ‘Adam, used as the proper name of the first man. The name is derived from a word meaning “to be red,” and thus the first man was called Adam because he was formed from the red earth. It is also the generic name of the human race (Gen. 1:26, 27; 5:2; 8:21; Deut. 8:3). Its equivalents are the Latin homo and the Greek anthropos (Matt. 5:13, 16). It denotes also man in opposition to woman (Gen. 3:12; Matt. 19:10).
(2.) Heb. ‘ish, like the Latin vir and Greek aner, denotes properly a man in opposition to a woman (1 Sam. 17:33;
Four Hebrew terms are rendered "man" in the Authorized Version: Adam, the name of the man created in the image of God. It appears to be derived from adam , "he or it was red or ruddy," like Edom. This was the generic term for the human race. Ish , "man," as distinguished from woman, husband. Geber , "a man," from gabar , "to be strong," generally with reference to his strength. Methim , "men," always masculine. Perhaps it may be derived from the root muth , "he died."
