^10 (A)For there are many ^(B)rebellious people, ^(C)empty talkers and deceivers, especially ^(D)those of the circumcision, ¹¹ who must be silenced because they are upsetting ^(E)whole families, teaching ^(F)things they should not teach ^(G)for the sake of ^[a]dishonest gain. ¹² One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “^(H)Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” ¹³ This testimony is true. For this reason ^(I)reprimand them ^(J)severely so that they may be ^(K)sound in the faith, ¹⁴ not paying attention to Jewish ^(L)myths and ^(M)commandments of men who ^(N)turn away from the truth. ^15 (O)To the pure, all things are pure; but ^(P)to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their ^(Q)mind and their conscience are defiled. ^16 (R)They profess to know God, but by their deeds they ^(S)deny Him, being ^(T)detestable and ^(U)disobedient and ^(V)worthless ^(W)for any good deed.
