Titus 1:12-14
American Standard Version
12 One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said,
Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, idle [a]gluttons.
13 This testimony is true. For which cause reprove them sharply, that they may be [b]sound in the faith, 14 not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

Titus 1:12-14
New International Version
12 One of Crete’s own prophets(A) has said it: “Cretans(B) are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.”[a] 13 This saying is true. Therefore rebuke(C) them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith(D) 14 and will pay no attention to Jewish myths(E) or to the merely human commands(F) of those who reject the truth.(G)
