The document discusses two views on the law. It states that the law is good if used properly but was intended for rebellious people as a redemptive tool. It also says that the law was added because of transgressions until Christ came and that the entire law is fulfilled by loving your neighbor. It notes that the author was previously a blasphemer but was shown mercy to be an example of Christ's patience toward sinners.

4. 8 There is no doubt that the law is good if a
person uses it properly. 9 But the law was not
designed to preoccupy righteous people but as
a redemptive tool for rebellious, ungodly,
sinful, unholy and profane people. It is for
father-killers, mother-killers and murderers in
general.

5. 10 It is for those who are sexually immoral,
homosexual, slave traders, liars, perjurers and
for everything else that fails to produce well-
being 11 that is consistent with the gospel
entrusted to me by our glorious and blessed
God. 12 I am grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord,
who has given me strength and considered me
worthy to be appointed to serve him.

6. 13 I was previously a blasphemer and an
arrogant persecutor of his people. I was
shown mercy because of my ignorance and
unbelief. 14 The grace of God overflowed
toward me, as did the faith and love that
comes from Christ Jesus.

7. 15 This is a trustworthy statement deserving
full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the
world to save sinners, and I am the worst
sinner of all. 16 I was shown mercy so that I
would be a prime example of the great
patience of Jesus toward even the worst of
sinners so that others would be encouraged to
believe in him and receive eternal life.

8. 17 To the king of the ages, immortal, invisible,
to God alone be honour and glory forever and
ever, amen.
