Titus 1:11-16
King James Version
Titus 1:11-16
King James Version
11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, the Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Titus 1:11-16
New International Version
11 They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households(A) by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain. 12 One of Crete’s own prophets(B) has said it: “Cretans(C) are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.”[a] 13 This saying is true. Therefore rebuke(D) them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith(E) 14 and will pay no attention to Jewish myths(F) or to the merely human commands(G) of those who reject the truth.(H) 15 To the pure, all things are pure,(I) but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure.(J) In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted.(K) 16 They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him.(L) They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.(M)

11 They must be silenced, since (A)they are upsetting whole families by teaching (B)for shameful gain what they ought not to teach. 12 (C)One of the Cretans,[a] a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”[b] 13 This testimony is true. Therefore (D)rebuke them (E)sharply, that they (F)may be sound in the faith, 14 (G)not devoting themselves to Jewish myths and (H)the commands of people (I)who turn away from the truth. 15 (J)To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and (K)unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both (L)their minds and their consciences are defiled. 16 (M)They profess to know God, but they (N)deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, (O)unfit for any good work.

11 It is necessary to silence them; they are ruining entire households by teaching what they shouldn’t in order to get money dishonestly. 12 One of their very own prophets said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” 13 This testimony is true.(A) For this reason, rebuke them sharply,(B) so that they may be sound in the faith 14 and may not pay attention to Jewish myths(C) and the commands of people who reject the truth.(D)
15 To the pure, everything is pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; in fact, both their mind and conscience(E) are defiled. 16 They claim to know God,(F) but they deny him by their works.(G) They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.(H)
