<p>1:8<i> But we know that the law is good- </i>Paul is always at pains to point out that the Law is holy, just and good. The problem was with how it was used (Rom. 7:14).<br /><i><br />If a man use it lawfully- </i>Galatians 3 explains that the law was given in order to convict sinners of the hopelessness before God, and to prepare sincere sinners to throw themselves upon salvation by grace in Christ. The intended usage of the Law was therefore for sinners; but the Jews considered it was intended for the righteous. </p>
