what is the correct translation for 1 Timothy 1:10 - "For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;" ? some translations say menstealer like the KJV does while others say salve traders, enslavers, ect.

The context. The "Law" in verses7-9 refers to the Pentateuch. The 5 books of Moses. The purpose of the Law, according to Galations 3:24-25 is to be a tutor to lead us to Christ. The Law shows how utterly sinful we are. Romans 7-8. It shows us how utterly incapable of doing good that we are and that at our best we cannot come close to the righteousness of God. God demands a payment for sin. The sacrificial system was established to show that without the shedding of blood there can be no remission of sins. No salvation is possible apart from that sacrifice. The pure lamb sacrificed for you and I is Jesus Christ Himself. In 1Ti.1 Paul says that righteous people need not fear the Law.verses 8-9. But the consequences for those who violate it, the "Lawless", those who violate His laws with impunity, the rebellious, those who have no God, no Lord to over, those who sin with impunity, the unholy and profane, those who kill their own family and others, those who violate all the commands of God with regards to sexual behavior, those who abduct and turn others into slaves, liars and those who bear false witness, and everything else contrary to what is written in the Law, shows that those that are in violation will face the judgment of God. From.1:18-32. Verse 32 states that even this totally rejecting the fact that there is a God at all all know their judgment is sure. " and although they know the ordinance of God, that those that practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice such things." God wrote these things into the very hearts of all men. From. 1:18-21 All men KNEW God. But the suppress, reject and exchange the truth God built into every man to hold fast to lies and, verse 32, choose to not even acknowledge Him any longer. The Law gives us the knowledge of sin, and the many ways we fall short. Christ, accepting His payment, that can never be earned, deserved or maintained by works, is the only way

The more precise translation of the original greek word in 1 Timothy 1:10 is "slave traders, enslavers". Probably the archaic English "menstealers" means quite the same.

" 1 timothy 1:10" may this translation be better: for adulterers, for men who have sexual intercourse with men, for people who engage in human trafficking, for liars, for those who swear falsely and everything else that stands in the way of sound doctrine. Just to name it: KJV is the best translation, the one best understood by All Bibles in this world.

Stay strong in the word and God bless u and yours in Jesus name, love u in Christ. John 5:24-29
