This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
But we know that the law is good: 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.
If a man use it lawfully: and as the law has an intrinsic goodness in its nature, so it is good to men when it is used for the end to which God gave it.
