Titus 1:10-16

10There are many believers, especially converts from Judaism, who are rebellious. They speak nonsense and deceive people.

11They must be silenced because they are ruining whole families by teaching what they shouldn’t teach. This is the shameful way they make money.

12Even one of their own prophets said, “Cretans are always liars, savage animals, and lazy gluttons.”

13That statement is true. For this reason, sharply correct believers so that they continue to have faith that is alive and well.

14They shouldn’t pay attention to Jewish myths or commands given by people who are always rejecting the truth.

15Everything is clean  to those who are clean. But nothing is clean to corrupt unbelievers. Indeed, their minds and their consciences are corrupted.

16They claim to know God, but they deny him by what they do. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit to do anything good.
