Warning People Who Fail to Do Good

¹⁰ Many people refuse to obey God. All they do is talk about things that mean nothing. They try to fool others. No one does these things more than the circumcision group. ¹¹ They must be stopped. They are making trouble for entire families. They do this by teaching things they shouldn’t. They do these things to cheat people. ¹² One of Crete’s own prophets has a saying. He says, “People from Crete are always liars. They are evil beasts. They don’t want to work. They live only to eat.”
