Titus 1:10-16 - Correct Whoever Teaches What Is Wrong

¹⁰ For there are many unruly men, vain-talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, ¹¹ whom it is needful to reduce to silence: who, indeed, are overthrowing whole houses, teaching what they ought not, for the sake of base gain. ¹² One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always false, evil beasts, idle gluttons."

¹³ This testimony is true. For which cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; ¹⁴ not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

¹⁵ To the pure all things are pure; but to the defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience have become defiled. ¹⁶ They profess to know God; but by their works they deny Him; being abominable, and disobedient, and for every good work worthless.
