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 ). disobedient — Greek, "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 . . . sinners — Greek, 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. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-10" class="com-number"
