Titus 1:8-16

8InsteadG235, he must be hospitableG5382, a lover of goodG5358, self-controlledG4998, uprightG1342, holyG3741, and disciplinedG1468. 9He must hold firmlyG472 to theG3588 faithfulG4103 wordG3056 asG2596 it was taughtG1322, so thatG2443 he canG1510G1415G2532 encourageG3870 others byG1722 soundG5198 teachingG1319 andG2532 refuteG1651 those whoG3588 contradictG483 it.

10ForG1063 manyG4183 areG1510 rebelliousG506 andG2532 full of empty talkG3151 andG2532 deceptionG5423, especiallyG3122 thoseG3588 ofG1537 theG3588 circumcisionG4061, 11whoG3739 mustG1163 be silencedG1993. For the sake ofG5484 dishonorableG150 gainG2771, they undermineG396 entireG3650 householdsG3624 and teachG1321 thingsG3739 they shouldG1163 notG3361. 12As oneG5100 ofG1537 theirG846 ownG2398 prophetsG4396 has saidG2036, “CretansG2912 are alwaysG104 liarsG5583, evilG2556 beastsG2342, lazyG692 gluttonsG1064.”1

13ThisG3778 testimonyG3141 isG1510 trueG227. ThereforeG1223G3739G156 rebukeG1651 themG846 sternlyG664, so thatG2443 they will be soundG5198 inG1722 theG3588 faithG4102 14and will pay no attentionG3361G4337 to JewishG2451 mythsG3454 or to the commandsG1785 of menG444 who have rejectedG654 theG3588 truthG225.

15To theG3588 pureG2513, all thingsG3956 are pureG2513; butG1161 to theG3588 defiledG3392 andG2532 unbelievingG571, nothingG3762 is pureG2513. IndeedG235, bothG2532 theirG846 mindsG3563 andG2532 their consciencesG4893 are defiledG3392. 16They professG3670 to knowG1492 GodG2316, butG1161 byG3588 their actionsG2041 they denyG720 Him. They areG1510 detestableG947, disobedientG545, andG2532 unfitG96 forG4314 anyG3956 goodG18 deedG2041.
