Titus 1:13-2:1
Modern English Version
13 This witness is true.

But to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure. Even their minds and consciences are defiled. 16 They profess that they know God, but in their deeds they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and worthless for every good work.

Sound Instruction and Consistent Behavior
