1:10 Handling those who go off the track
10 There’s plenty of people who don’t want to be told what to do, empty talkers and outright deceivers, especially those that push the letter of the law. 11 These people need to be silenced because they mess up whole families when they teach them things that they shouldn’t—all for the sake of shameful game. 12 One of their own prophets said that the people from Crete are liars, evil beasts, and lazy gluttons, 13 and that’s right. For those reasons, you need to sternly tell them they’re wrong, so that they can become sound in their faith, 14 and not pay attention to Jewish myths or human rules which turn people away from the truth. 15 For someone who’s pure in their thinking, everything is pure to them, but for unbelievers and those who’ve strayed from the truth, nothing is pure because their minds and consciences have already been damaged—16 they say that they know God, but their actions show that they don’t, and so they’re detestable. They can no longer accept teaching so they’re unsuitable for any good work.
