Titus 1:10-16 — Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁰^aFor there are many ^brebellious men, ^cempty talkers and deceivers, especially ^dthose of the circumcision, ¹¹who must be silenced because they are upsetting ^awhole families, teaching ^bthings they should not teach ^cfor the sake of dishonest gain. ¹²One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, “^aCretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” ¹³This testimony is true. For this reason ^areprove them ^bseverely so that they may be ^csound in the faith, ¹⁴not 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.
