Titus 1:10-16

« 2 Tim 4Titus 1Titus 2 »

10 ^aFor there are many ^brebellious men, ^cempty talkers and deceivers, especially ^dthose of the circumcision, 11 who must be silenced because they are upsetting ^awhole families, teaching ^bthings they should not teach ^cfor the sake of dishonest gain. 12 One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, “^aCretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” 13 This testimony is true. For this reason ^areprove them ^bseverely so that they may be ^csound in the faith, 14 not paying attention to Jewish ^amyths and ^bcommandments of men who ^cturn away from the truth. 15 ^aTo the pure, all things are pure, but ^bto those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their ^cmind and their conscience are defiled. 16 ^aThey profess to know God, but by their works they ^bdeny Him, being ^cdetestable and ^ddisobedient and ^eunfit ^ffor any good work.
