Titus 1:11-15

Their talking must stop, these people who throw whole families into turmoil, teaching things that aren't right for the sake of making money.

As someone of their own people, a prophet, has stated, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts who are lazy, greedy people.”

This is a true statement! Consequently give them a good telling-off so that they can have a healthy trust in God,

not paying attention to Jewish myths and human commandments from those who deviate from the truth.

To those who have clean minds everything is clean, but to those who are corrupt and refuse to trust in God, nothing is clean—both their minds and their consciences are corrupt.
