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

¹⁰ For there are many insubordinate people, mere talkers with nothing to say, but deceivers of their own minds, especially those of the circumcision party, ¹¹ whose mouths must be stopped, for they upset whole families by teaching things they ought not to think, for the sake of dishonest gain. ¹² One of them, a prophet of their own countrymen, has said, "Cretans are always liars, wicked brutes, lazy bellies."

¹³ Now this tendency is true. So continue correcting them severely, that they may be healthy in faith, ¹⁴ by ceasing to give attention to Jewish myths and to the commands of men who turn their backs on the truth.

¹⁵ To the pure everything is pure, but to the impure and unbelieving nothing is pure, but their very minds and consciences are impure. ¹⁶ They profess to know God, but by their actions they disown Him; they are detestable, disobedient, and useless for anything good.
