| 11 | they must be silenced, since they are upsetting whole families by teaching for base gain what they have no right to teach. |
| 12 | One of themselves, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons." |
| 13 | This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, |
| 14 | instead of giving heed to Jewish myths or to commands of men who reject the truth. |
