Titus 1:9-15
New American Standard Bible
10For there are many rebellious people, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
11who must be silenced because they are upsetting whole families, teaching things they should not teach for the sake of dishonest gain.
12One of them, a prophet of their own, said, 'Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.'
13This testimony is true. For this reason reprimand them severely so that they may be sound in the faith,
14not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
15To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
King James Version
10For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
11Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
12One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
13This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
14Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
15Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
Christian Standard Bible
10For there are many rebellious people, full of empty talk and deception, especially those from the circumcision party.
11It is necessary to silence them; they are ruining entire households by teaching what they shouldn’t in order to get money dishonestly.
12One of their very own prophets said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons."
13This testimony is true. For this reason, rebuke them sharply, so that they may be sound in the faith
14and may not pay attention to Jewish myths and the commands of people who reject the truth.
New Living Translation
10For there are many rebellious people who engage in useless talk and deceive others. This is especially true of those who insist on circumcision for salvation.
11They must be silenced, because they are turning whole families away from the truth by their false teaching. And they do it only for money.
12Even one of their own men, a prophet from Crete, has said about them, 'The people of Crete are all liars, cruel animals, and lazy gluttons.'
13This is true. So reprimand them sternly to make them strong in the faith.
14They must stop listening to Jewish myths and the commands of people who have turned away from the truth.
English Standard Version
10For there are many who are insubordinate, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision party.
11They must be silenced, since they are upsetting whole families by teaching for shameful gain what they ought not to teach.
12One of the Cretans, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons."
13This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
14not devoting themselves to Jewish myths and the commands of people who turn away from the truth.
15To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their minds and their consciences are defiled.
New International Version
10For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision group.
11They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain.
12One of Crete’s own prophets has said it: "Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons."
13This saying is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith
14and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the merely human commands of those who reject the truth.
15To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted.

12One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
