1.16 Factis autem. Si negatio non tantum lingua fit, sed etiam factis, certe multos invenimus Antichristos, qui ore confitentur Christum, et moribus dissentiunt ab eo.

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.
