Titus 1:13-2:1
New American Standard Bible
13 This testimony is true. For this reason (A)reprimand them (B)severely so that they may be (C)sound in the faith, 14 not paying attention to Jewish (D)myths and (E)commandments of men who (F)turn away from the truth. 15 (G)To the pure, all things are pure; but (H)to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their (I)mind and their conscience are defiled. 16 (J)They profess to know God, but by their deeds they (K)deny Him, being (L)detestable and (M)disobedient and (N)worthless (O)for any good deed.
Proclaim Sound Doctrine
2 But as for you, proclaim the things which are fitting for (P)sound doctrine.
Titus 1:13-2:1
Lexham English Bible
13 This testimony is true, for which reason reprove them severely, in order that they may be sound in the faith, 14 not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of people who turn away from the truth. 15 To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure, but both their mind and conscience are defiled. 16 They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny him, because they[a] are detestable and disobedient, and unfit for every good deed.
