Titus 1:10-14
New King James Version
The Elders’ Task
10 For there are many insubordinate, both idle (A)talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, 11 whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole households, teaching things which they ought not, (B)for the sake of dishonest gain. 12 (C)One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” 13 This testimony is true. (D)Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, 14 not giving heed to Jewish fables and (E)commandments of men who turn from the truth.

Rebuking Those Who Fail to Do Good
10 For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk(A) and deception, especially those of the circumcision group.(B) 11 They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households(C) by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain. 12 One of Crete’s own prophets(D) has said it: “Cretans(E) are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.”[a] 13 This saying is true. Therefore rebuke(F) them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith(G) 14 and will pay no attention to Jewish myths(H) or to the merely human commands(I) of those who reject the truth.(J)
