Titus 1:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² One of Crete’s own prophets has a saying. He says, “People from Crete are always liars. They are evil beasts. They don’t want to work. They live only to eat.” ¹³ This saying is true. So give a strong warning to people who refuse to obey God. Then they will understand the faith correctly. ¹⁴ Then they will pay no attention to Jewish stories that aren’t true. They won’t listen to the mere human commands of people who turn away from the truth.
