I came across this one the other day, which I found interesting:
1st Timothy 7-11
"They want to become famous as teachers of the laws of Moses. But they haven't any idea of what those laws really show us. Those laws are good when used as God wanted. But they were not made for us, whom God has saved. They are for sinners who hate God. These people aren't holy. They curse and swear, attack their fathers and mothers, and murder. Yes, these laws are made for immoral and impure sinners. They are for honosexuals, kidnappers, and liars. They are against the Good News of our blessed God, whose messenger I am."
It makes me think of prisoners in jail; they have rules governing everything they do with strict punishment, while we have much more freedom, specifically because they have done wrong and need to be controlled.

1st Timothy only has 6 chapters… where is this?
