Titus 1:10

Read in context

Titus 1:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 Instead, he must be hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined.

9 He must hold firmly to the faithful word as it was taught, so that he can encourage others by sound teaching and refute those who contradict it.

10 For many are rebellious and full of empty talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision,

11 who must be silenced. For the sake of dishonorable gain, they undermine entire households and teach things they should not.

12 As one of their own prophets has said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
