Titus 1:12-16

English Standard Version

^12 (A)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 ^(B)rebuke them ^(C)sharply, that they ^(D)may be sound in the faith, ^14 (E)not devoting themselves to Jewish myths and ^(F)the commands of people ^(G)who turn away from the truth. ^15 (H)To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and ^(I)unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both ^(J)their minds and their consciences are defiled. ^16 (K)They profess to know God, but they ^(L)deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, ^(M)unfit for any good work.
