Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Timothy 1:9

_ _ law is not made for a righteous man — not for one standing by faith in the righteousness of Christ put on him for justification, and imparted inwardly by the Spirit for sanctification. “One not forensically amenable to the law” [Alford]. For sanctification, the law gives no inward power to fulfil it; but Alford goes too far in speaking of the righteous man as “not morally needing the law.” Doubtless, in proportion as he is inwardly led by the Spirit, the justified man needs not the law, which is only an outward rule (Romans 6:14; Galatians 5:18, Galatians 5:23). But as the justified man often does not give himself up wholly to the inward leading of the Spirit, he morally needs the outward law to show him his sin and God’s requirements. The reason why the ten commandments have no power to condemn the Christian, is not that they have no authority over him, but because Christ has fulfilled them as our surety (Romans 10:4).

_ _ disobedientGreek, “not subject”; insubordinate; it is translated “unruly,” Titus 1:6, Titus 1:10; “lawless and disobedient” refer to opposers of the law, for whom it is “enacted” (so the Greek, for “is made”).

_ _ ungodly and ... sinnersGreek, he who does not reverence God, and he who openly sins against Him; the opposers of God, from the law comes.

_ _ unholy and profane — those inwardly impure, and those deserving exclusion from the outward participation in services of the sanctuary; sinners against the third and fourth commandments.

_ _ murderers — or, as the Greek may mean, “smiters” of fathers and ... mothers; sinners against the fifth commandment.

_ _ manslayers — sinners against the sixth commandment.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Timothy 1:9

The law doth not lie against a righteous man — Doth not strike or condemn him. But against the lawless and disobedient — They who despise the authority of the lawgiver violate the first commandment, which is the foundation of the law, and the ground of all obedience. Against the ungodly and sinners — Who break the second commandment, worshipping idols, or not worshipping the true God. The unholy and profane — Who break the third commandment by taking his name in vain.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Timothy 1:9

(8) Knowing this, that the law is not made for a (e) righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for (f) sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

(8) He indeed escapes the curse of the Law, and therefore does not abhor it, who fleeing and avoiding those things which the Law condemns, gives himself with all his heart to observe it: and he does not make a vain babbling of outward and curious matters.

(e) And such a one is he, whom the Lord has endued with true doctrine, and with the Holy Spirit.

(f) To those who make an art, as it were, of sinning.
