Titus 1:12 in Context — Titus 1

10 Il y a, en effet, surtout parmi les circoncis, beaucoup de gens rebelles, de vains discoureurs et de séducteurs,

11 auxquels il faut fermer la bouche. Ils bouleversent des familles entières, enseignant pour un gain honteux ce qu’on ne doit pas enseigner.

12 L’un d’entre eux, leur propre prophète, a dit: Crétois toujours menteurs, méchantes bêtes, ventres paresseux.

13 Ce témoignage est vrai. C’est pourquoi reprends-les sévèrement, afin qu’ils aient une foi saine,

14 et qu’ils ne s’attachent pas à des fables judaïques et à des commandements d’hommes qui se détournent de la vérité.
