Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Timothy 1:8

8 But we know that the law is good , if it be used lawfully x.

Not that I speak against the Law of God, I know that it is holy, and spiritual, and just, and good, Rom. 7.12, 14. It is good though not for Justification, yet for conviction, to convince men of sin, and as a Schoolmaster to lead men unto Christ, and to direct us in our walking with God; the equity and sanctity of its precepts are evident to the sincere and purified mind. And as the Law has an intrinsick goodness in its nature, so 'tis good to men when 'tis used for the end to which God, gave it.
