SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:10
para los fornicarios, para los homosexuales, para los secuestradores, para los mentirosos y perjuros; y si hay alguna otra cosa contraria a la sana doctrina,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 1:10
Verse 10. For whoremongers] pornoiv? Adulterers, fornicators, and prostitutes of all sorts. Them that defile themselves with mankind] arsenokoitaiv? From arshn, a male, and koith, a bed; a word too bad to be explained. A sodomite.
Men-stealers] andrapodistaiv? Slave-dealers; whether those who carry on the traffic in human flesh and blood; or those who steal a person in order to sell him into bondage; or those who buy such stolen men or women, no matter of what colour or what country; or those who sow dissensions among barbarous tribes in order that they who are taken in war may be sold into slavery; or the nations who legalize or connive at such traffic: all these are men-stealers, and God classes them with the most flagitious of mortals.
For liars] yeustaiv? They who speak for truth what they know to be false; and even they who tell the truth in such a way as to lead others to draw a contrary meaning from it.
For perjured persons] epiorkoiv? From epi, against, and orkov, an oath; such as do or leave undone any thing contrary to an oath or moral engagement, whether that engagement be made by what is called swearing, or by an affirmation or promise of any kind.
And if there be any other thing] Every species of vice and immorality, all must be necessarily included, that is contrary to sound doctrine - to the immutable moral law of God, as well as to the pure precepts of Christianity where that law is incorporated, explained, and rendered, if possible, more and more binding.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. For whoremongers , etc.] Fornicators and adulterers, who were transgressors of the seventh command, ( Exodus 20:14 Leviticus 20:10) these God will judge, and such shall have their portion in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone: for them that defile themselves with mankind ; who are guilty of sodomy; such, according to the law, were to die, ( Leviticus 18:22 20:13) the wrath of God was revealed from heaven in a very visible and remarkable manner against this abomination, by raining fire and brimstone upon Sodom and Gomorrah, and upon the cities of the plain, who defiled themselves in this way: for men stealers ; who decoyed servants or free men, and stole them away, and sold them for slaves; see the laws against this practice, and the punishment such were liable to, in ( Exodus 21:16 Deuteronomy 24:7). This practice was condemned by the Flavian law among the Romans f9 , and was not allowed of among the Grecians f10 ; the death with which such were punished was strangling, according to the Jews f11 : for liars ; who speak what is false, against their own knowledge and conscience, and with a design to deceive; who lie against their neighbours, and act falsely and deceitfully in trade and merchandise, as well as speak that which is not true; (see Leviticus 6:2) for perjured persons ; who take a false oath on any account, and bear false witness against their neighbour. Now upon, and against all, and each of these, the law lies, as an accusing, threatening, and cursing law: and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine ; the law lies against it, takes notice of it, charges with it, condemns and punishes for it: by sound doctrine is meant the doctrine of the Gospel, which is in itself pure and incorrupt, and is the cause of soundness and health to others; it is health to the navel, and marrow to the bones; its doctrines are the wholesome words of Christ, and by them souls are nourished up unto eternal life; when the errors and heresies of men are in themselves rotten and corrupt, and also eat as do a canker. Here it may be observed, that there is an entire harmony and agreement between the Gospel and the law, rightly understood and used; what is contrary to the one, is also to the other; the Gospel no more countenances sin than the law does; and whatever is repugnant to the Gospel is liable to be punished by the law.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-11 - Whatever tends to weaken love to God, or love to the brethren, tends to defeat the end of the commandment. The design of the gospel i answered, when sinners, through repentance towards God and faith i Jesus Christ, are brought to exercise Christian love. And as believer were righteous persons in God's appointed way, the law was not agains them. But unless we are made righteous by faith in Christ, reall repenting and forsaking sin, we are yet under the curse of the law even according to the gospel of the blessed God, and are unfit to shar the holy happiness of heaven.

10. Them that defile themselves with mankind (arsenokoitaiv). Only here and 1 Cor. vi. 9. o LXX, o Class.
Menstealers (andrapodistaiv). N.T.o . Once in LXX. Ellicott remarks that this is a repulsive and exaggerated violation of the eighth commandment, as ajrsenokoitein is of the seventh. The penalty of death is attached to it, Exod. xxi. 16.
Perjured persons (epiorkoiv). N.T.o . Once in LXX, Zech. v. 3. See Lev. xix. 12.
Is contrary to (antikeitai). Lit. Lies opposite to. Used by Paul and Luke. See Luke xiii. 17; Gal. v. 17.
The sound doctrine (th ugiainoush didaskalia). A phrase peculiar to the Pastorals. Ugiainein to be in good health, Luke v. 31; vii. 10; 3 James 2. o P. Quite frequent in LXX, and invariably in the literal sense. Often in salutations or dismissals. See 2 Macc i.10; ix. 19; 2 Sam. xiv. 8; Exodus iv. 18. In the Pastorals, the verb, which occurs eight times, is six times associated with didaskalia teaching, or logoi words, and twice with ejn th pistei or th pistei in the faith. The sound teaching (comp. didach teaching, 2 Tim. iv. 2; Tit. i. 9) which is thus commended is Paul's, who teaches in Christ's name and by his authority (2 Tim. i. 13; ii. 2, 8). In all the three letters it is called ajlh.qeia or hJ ajlhqeia the truth, the knowledge (epignwsiv) of which is bound up with salvation. See 1 Timothy ii. 4; 2 Tim. ii. 25; iii. 7; Tit. i. 1. As truth it is sound or healthful. It is the object of faith. To be sound in the faith is, practically, to follow (parakolouqein) sound teaching or the truth. The subjective characteristic of Christians is eujsebeia or qeosebeia godliness or piety 1 Timothy ii. 2, 10; iii. 16; iv. 7, 8; vi. 6, 11); and the teaching and knowledge of the truth are represented as kat' eujsebeian according to godliness 1 Timothy vi. 3; Tit. i. 1). Comp. eujsebein to show piety, 1 Tim. v. 4. eujsebwv zhn to live godly, 2 Tim. iii. 12; Tit. ii. 12; and bion diagein ejn pash eujsebeia to lead a life in all godliness, 1 Timothy ii. 2. The contents of this sound teaching which is according to godliness are not theoretical or dogmatic truth, but Christian ethics, with faith and love. See 1 Tim. i. 14; ii. 15; iv. 12; vi. 11; 2 Tim. i. 13; iii. 10; Titus ii. 2. Alhqeia truth is used of moral things, rather than in the high religious sense of Paul. Comp., for instance, Rom. iii. 7; ix. 1; 1 Corinthians v. 8; 2 Cor. iv. 2; xi. 10; Gal. ii. 5; Eph. iv. 21, 24; and 2 Tim. ii. 25,26; iii. 7 (comp. v. 1-xciv. 3, 4; Tit. i. 12 (comp. v. 11, 15); Tit. ii. 4 (comp. v. 1, 3); Tit. iii. 1. Whoever grasps the truth has faith 2 Tim. i. 13; ii. 18; iii. 8; Tit. i. 3 f.). That the ethical character of faith is emphasized, appears from the numerous expressions regarding the false teachers, as 1 Tim. i. 19; iv. 1; v. 8, 12; vi. 10, 21. There is a tendency to objectify faith, regarding it as something believed rather than as the act of believing. See 1 Tim. i. 19; iv. 1; vi. 10, 21; Tit. i. 4. In comparing the ideal of righteousness ver. 9) with that of Paul, note that it is not denied that Christ is the source of true righteousness; but according to Paul, the man who is not under the law is the man who lives by faith in Christ. Paul emphasizes this. It is faith in Christ which sets one free from the law. Here, the man for whom the law is not made (ver. 9) is the man who is ethically conformed to the norm of sound teaching. The two conceptions do not exclude each other: the sound teaching is according to the gospel (ver. 11), but the point of emphasis is shifted.
