Titus 1:12-14
New Testament for Everyone
12 One of their own, a native prophet, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil animals, idle guzzlers.” 13 This testimony is true! That’s why you must rebuke them sternly, so that they may become healthy in the faith, 14 paying no attention to Jewish myths and the commandments of people who reject the truth.
