1 Timothy 1:8-11

8 But we know that the law is good if one uses it
lawfully, 9 knowing this: that the law is not made
for a righteous person, but for the lawless and
insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners,
for the unholy and profane, for murderers of
fathers and murderers of mothers, for
manslayers, 10 for fornicators, for sodomites,
for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if
there is any other thing that is contrary to sound
doctrine, 11 according to the glorious gospel of
the blessed God which was committed to my
trust.
Introduction

Said often, “You can't legislate morality.”

Truth – Morality is all that can be legislated

Today – Let everyone “do their own thing”

Doctrine is important to God

Doctrine includes our moral values

Immorality comes from three threats
Threat 1 – Immoral People

1 Timothy 1:9a
knowing this: that the
law is not made for a
righteous person, but
for the lawless and
insubordinate, for the
ungodly and for
sinners, for the unholy
and profane




Lawless – not subject to
the law
Insubordinate –
disobedient, not willing to
submit
Ungodly – no fear of God
Sinners – transgress
God's law

Unholy – not pure

Profane – worldly, fleshly
Threat 2 – Immoral Choices

murderers of fathers
and murderers of
mothers, for

Threat 3 – Immoral Doctrine

1 Timothy 1:10b and
if there is any other
thing that is contrary
to sound doctrine



Sound = healthy,
wholesome, pure
Doctrine = teaching,
the thing taught
All the above moral
issues are “contrary
to sound doctrine.”
Conclusion

We often think of doctrine as separate from
morals

Not True!

Pure teaching includes moral values

We must teach purity, sound (healthy) doctrine

We must stand for sound moral teaching as well
as other doctrinal matters
