Titus 1:13-2:1
New International Version
Titus 1:13-2:1
New International Version
13 This saying is true. Therefore rebuke(A) them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith(B) 14 and will pay no attention to Jewish myths(C) or to the merely human commands(D) of those who reject the truth.(E) 15 To the pure, all things are pure,(F) but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure.(G) In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted.(H) 16 They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him.(I) They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.(J)
Doing Good for the Sake of the Gospel
2 You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine.(K)

Titus 1:13-2:1
New Living Translation
13 This is true. So reprimand them sternly to make them strong in the faith. 14 They must stop listening to Jewish myths and the commands of people who have turned away from the truth.
15 Everything is pure to those whose hearts are pure. But nothing is pure to those who are corrupt and unbelieving, because their minds and consciences are corrupted. 16 Such people claim they know God, but they deny him by the way they live. They are detestable and disobedient, worthless for doing anything good.
Promote Right Teaching
2 As for you, Titus, promote the kind of living that reflects wholesome teaching.
Titus 1:13-2:1
King James Version
Titus 1:13-2:1
King James Version
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.
2 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
