Titus 1:13-2:1
Lexham English Bible
13 This testimony is true, for which reason reprove them severely, in order that they may be sound in the faith, 14 not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of people who turn away from the truth. 15 To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure, but both their mind and conscience are defiled. 16 They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny him, because they[a] are detestable and disobedient, and unfit for every good deed.
Sound Instruction and Consistent Behavior
2 But you, speak the things which are fitting for sound instruction.
