Titus 1:10
Titus 1:10 (KJV)
10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
Titus 1:10 (Literal)
10 There are many, especially those of the circumcision, who are insubordinate, full of empty, useless chatter, deceiving the minds of men.
CONTEXT- Dealing with Gainsayers
Titus 1:10-16
10 There are many, especially those of the circumcision, who are insubordinate, full of empty, useless chatter, deceiving the minds of men. 11 Their mouths must be bridled, for they subvert whole households, teaching things they should not for dishonorable gain. 12 One of their very own prophets said, “Cretans are incessant liars, evil wild beasts, lazy gluttons.” 13 This statement concerning them is true. For this reason reprove them sharply so they may become sound in the household of faith, 14 rather than holding onto Judean myths and commandments of men who hate the truth. 15 All things are pure [in action] to the pure [in heart]; but to those who are corrupted and unbelieving [in heart], nothing is pure [in action]. Both their mind and conscience are corrupted. 16 They profess to know God, but they deny Him by their works [actions]. They are loathsomely detestable and deliberately disobedient and worthless as to any good work.
