Titus 1:12-14
EasyEnglish Bible
12 Many years ago, there was a certain man who lived on Crete. The people there called him their prophet. Even he said, ‘People who live on Crete are always telling lies and doing wicked things. They are lazy and they eat too much food.’
13 What that man said is true. So you must warn the people there. Help them to believe the true message about Jesus more and more. 14 They must not listen to Jewish stories that are not true, or to human rules. Those things are the ideas of people who refuse to obey God's true message.

Titus 1:12-14
New International Version
12 One of Crete’s own prophets(A) has said it: “Cretans(B) are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.”[a] 13 This saying is true. Therefore rebuke(C) them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith(D) 14 and will pay no attention to Jewish myths(E) or to the merely human commands(F) of those who reject the truth.(G)
