Titus 1:8-16

8but 1hospitableG5382, 2lovingG5358 whatG5358 isG5358 goodG5358, self-controlledG4998, righteousG1342, holyG3741, disciplinedG1468, 93holdingG472 firmlyG472 the faithfulG4103 wordG3056 which is inG2596 accordanceG2596 withG2596 the teachingG1322, soG2443 thatG2443 he will be ableG1415 bothG2532 to 4exhortG3870 in 5soundG5198 doctrineG1319 and to refuteG1651 thoseG3588 who contradictG483 it.

106For there are manyG4183 7rebelliousG506 peopleG506, 8emptyG3151 talkersG3151 and deceiversG5423, especiallyG3122 9thoseG3588 of the circumcisionG4061, 11whoG3739 mustG1163 be silencedG1993 becauseG3748 they are upsettingG396 10wholeG3650 familiesG3624, teachingG1321 11thingsG3739 they shouldG1163 not teach 12for the sakeG5484 of 13dishonestG150 gainG2771. 12OneG5100 of themG846, a prophetG4396 of their ownG2398, saidG3004, “14CretansG2912 are alwaysG104 liarsG5583, evilG2556 beastsG2342, lazyG692 gluttonsG1064.” 13ThisG3778 testimonyG3141 is trueG227. For thisG3739 reasonG156 15reprimandG1651 them 16severelyG664 soG2443 thatG2443 they may be 17soundG5198 in the faithG4102, 14not payingG4337 attentionG4337 to JewishG2451 18mythsG3454 and 19commandmentsG1785 of menG444 who 20turnG654 awayG654 from the truthG225. 1521To the pureG2513, allG3956 thingsG3956 are pureG2513; but 22to thoseG3588 who are defiledG3392 and unbelievingG571, nothingG3762 is pureG2513, but bothG2532 their 23mindG3563 and their conscienceG4893 are defiledG3392. 1624They professG3670 to knowG3609 GodG2316, but by their deedsG2041 they 25denyG720 Him, beingG1510 26detestableG947 and 27disobedientG545 and 28worthlessG96 29for anyG3956 goodG18 deedG2041.
