New International Version (NIV) |
|
10 For there be many unobedient, and vain speakers, and deceivers, most they that be of circumcision,
|
10 For there are many rebellious people, mere talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision group.
|
|
11 which it behooveth to be reproved [whom it behooveth to be reproved]; which subvert all houses, teaching which things it behooveth not, for [the] love of foul winning.
|
11 They must be silenced, because they are ruining whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach--and that for the sake of dishonest gain.
|
|
12 And one of them, their proper prophet said [Some one of them, the proper prophet of them, said], said, Men of Crete be evermore liars, evil beasts, of slow womb [slow of womb].
|
12 Even one of their own prophets has said, "Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons."
|
|
13 This witnessing is true. For which cause blame them sore, that they be whole in faith,
|
13 This testimony is true. Therefore, rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith
|
|
14 not giving attention to fables of Jews, and to commandments of men, that turn away them from truth [turning them away from truth].
|
14 and will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of those who reject the truth.
|
|
15 And all things be clean to clean men; but to unclean men and to unfaithful nothing is clean, for the soul and conscience of them be made unclean [but and the soul, or reason, and conscience of them be made unclean].
|
15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted.
|
|
16 They acknowledge that they know God, but by deeds they deny [him]; when they be abominable, and unbelieveful, and reprovable to all good work [to all good works].
|
16 They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.
