13 This testimony is true. For which reason, be rebuking them severely in order that they may be healthy in the faith, 14 not paying-attention-to Jewish myths and commandments of people turning-away-from the truth. 15 All things are clean[a] to the clean. But to the ones having been defiled[b] and who are unbelieving, nothing is clean, but both their mind and conscience have been defiled. 16 They are confessing to know God, but by their works they are denying Him, being detestable and disobedient and disapproved[c] for every good work.
