Titus 1:10-12
Common English Bible
Correcting rebellious people
10 In fact, there are many who are rebellious people, loudmouths, and deceivers, especially some of those who are Jewish believers.[a] 11 They must be silenced because they upset entire households. They teach what they shouldn’t to make money dishonestly. 12 Someone who is one of their own prophets said, “People from Crete are always liars, wild animals, and lazy gluttons.”
