13 This saying is true. Therefore rebuke(A) them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith(B) 14 and will pay no attention to Jewish myths(C) or to the merely human commands(D) of those who reject the truth.(E) 15 To the pure, all things are pure,(F) but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure.(G) In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted.(H) 16 They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him.(I) They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.(J)

Doing Good for the Sake of the Gospel

You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine.(K)

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

But as for you, proclaim the things which are fitting for (P)sound doctrine.
