Titus 1:10-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 There are also many rebellious people, idle talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision;(A) 11 they must be silenced, since they are upsetting whole families by teaching for sordid gain what it is not right to teach.(B) 12 It was one of them, their very own prophet, who said,
“Cretans are always liars, vicious brutes, lazy gluttons.”
Titus 1:10-12
New Living Translation
10 For there are many rebellious people who engage in useless talk and deceive others. This is especially true of those who insist on circumcision for salvation. 11 They must be silenced, because they are turning whole families away from the truth by their false teaching. And they do it only for money. 12 Even one of their own men, a prophet from Crete, has said about them, “The people of Crete are all liars, cruel animals, and lazy gluttons.”[a]
