OET (OET-LV) They_are_confessing to_have_known god, but by_their works they_are_disowning him, being detestable and unpersuadable, and unqualified for any good work.

but
The connecting word but introduces a contrast between what these corrupt people say (that they know God) and what their actions show (that they do not know God). Indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “nevertheless,”
τοῖς & ἔργοις ἀρνοῦνται
˱by˲_their & works ˱they˲_/are/_disowning_‹him›
Alternate translation: “how they live proves that they do not know him”
1:16 Sound teaching and godliness are always linked together in the letters to Timothy and Titus (see 1 Tim 1:7-11; 3:15-16; 5:24-25; 2 Tim 3:5, 9). Similarly, the ungodly way they live is connected with false teaching.
• anything good: This contrasts with Titus 3:1.

OET (OET-RV) 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.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
