Titus 1:10-12
Wycliffe Bible
10 For there be many unobedient, and vain speakers, and deceivers, most they that be of circumcision,
11 which it behooveth to be reproved [whom it behooveth to be reproved]; which subvert all houses, teaching which things it behooveth not, for [the] love of foul winning.
12 And one of them, their proper prophet said [Some one of them, the proper prophet of them, said], said, Men of Crete be evermore liars, evil beasts, of slow womb [slow of womb].
