On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Hence it appears that laws with penalties for the lawless and disobedient ( 1 Tim. i. 9 ) must be constituted in Christian nations, and are agreeable with, and not contradictory to, the gospel. When men are become such beasts, such ravenous beasts, one to another, they must be dealt with accordingly, taken and destroyed in terrorem--to deter others.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
