THE HOLY BIBLE Douay-Rheims

Notes on The First Epistle of St. Paul to Timothy (Author Bishop Richard Challoner (ed.))

1:9 The law is not: He means, that the just man doth good, and avoideth evil, not as compelled by the law, and merely for fear of the punishment appointed for transgressors; but voluntarily, and out of the love of God and virtue; and would do so, though there were no law.
