Titus 1:11

Correcting False Teachers

10For many are rebellious and full of empty talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision,11who must be silenced. For the sake of dishonorable gain, they undermine entire households and teach things they should not. 12As one of their own prophets has said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”
