Titus 1:11-13
Worldwide English (New Testament)
11 One of their own prophets said, `The people of Crete are always telling lies. They are like wild, bad animals. They are lazy and want to eat too much.'
12 What he said is true. You must tell them that they are wrong. Tell them to stop it. They must believe what is true.
13 They must not use the old Jewish stories. They must not use the rules which were made by men who do not believe what is true.

Titus 1:11-13
New International Version
11 They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households(A) by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain. 12 One of Crete’s own prophets(B) has said it: “Cretans(C) are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.”[a] 13 This saying is true. Therefore rebuke(D) them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith(E)
