Titus 1:10-12

Expanded Bible

¹⁰ There are many ·people who refuse to cooperate [unruly/rebellious people], who talk about ·worthless [empty; useless] things and ·lead others into the wrong way [deceive others]—·mainly [especially] those ·who insist on circumcision to be saved [or among the Jewish Christians; ^Lof the circumcision]. ¹¹ These people must be ·stopped [^Lsilenced], because they are ·upsetting [misleading; ruining; overthrowing] whole families by teaching things they should not teach, which they do ·to get rich by cheating people [for dishonest gain]. ¹² Even one of their own prophets said, “Cretans are always liars, evil ·animals [beasts], and lazy ·people who do nothing but eat [gluttons; ^Ca quote from Epimenides, a poet from Crete (sixth century bc)].”
