Titus 1:10-16
10For many are rebellious and full of empty talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision,
11who must be silenced. For the sake of dishonorable gain, they undermine entire households and teach things they should not.
12As one of their own prophets has said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
13This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sternly, so that they will be sound in the faith
14and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of men who have rejected the truth.
15To the pure, all things are pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure. Indeed, both their minds and their consciences are defiled.
16They profess to know God, but by their actions they deny Him. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good deed.
Titus 2:11-14
11For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to everyone.
12It instructs us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live sensible, upright, and godly lives in the present age,
13as we await the blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
14He gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.
