_ _ law is good — in full agreement with God’s holiness and goodness.
_ _ if a man — primarily, a teacher; then, every Christian.
_ _ use it lawfully — in its lawful place in the Gospel economy, namely, not as a means of a “’righteous man” attaining higher perfection than could be attained by the Gospel alone (1 Timothy 4:8; Titus 1:14), which was the perverted use to which the false teachers put it, but as a means of awakening the sense of sin in the ungodly (1 Timothy 1:9, 1 Timothy 1:10; compare Romans 7:7-12; Galatians 3:21). |
1 Timothy 1:8
We grant the whole Mosaic law is good, answers excellent purposes, if a man use it in a proper manner. Even the ceremonial is good, as it points to Christ; and the moral law is holy, just, and good, on its own nature; and of admirable use both to convince unbelievers, and to guide believers in all holiness. |

- the law:
Deuteronomy 4:6-8 Keep therefore and do [them]; for this [is] your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation [is] a wise and understanding people. ... And what nation [is there so] great, that hath statutes and judgments [so] righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
Nehemiah 9:13 Thou camest down also upon mount Sinai, and spakest with them from heaven, and gavest them right judgments, and true laws, good statutes and commandments:
Psalms 19:7-10 The law of the LORD [is] perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD [is] sure, making wise the simple. ... More to be desired [are they] than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Psalms 119:96-105 I have seen an end of all perfection: [but] thy commandment [is] exceeding broad. ... NUN. Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Psalms 119:127-128 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. ... Therefore I esteem all [thy] precepts [concerning] all [things to be] right; [and] I hate every false way.
Romans 7:12-13 Wherefore the law [is] holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. ... Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
Romans 7:16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that [it is] good.

Galatians 3:21 [Is] the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
