knowing this that lawa is not laid down for a righteous person, but for lawless and insubordinate, for ungodly and sinful, for unholy and profane, for smitersb of fathers and smiters of mothers, for murderers,

WK Translation Notes

+

a

It is not "the law" nor "a law," but "law" as such; and the word "ou" (no), negates any such thing as law being enacted for a righteous person. The general form is intended in all cases with or without prepositions, where there is no article.

b

The simple verb certainly means to thresh, or beat, rather than to kill; and the compound in well-known classic Greek is distinguished, as here, from man-slayers or murders.
