         Paul’s Letter To Titus

10 - For there are many who are off course, being empty talkers and misleaders. 11 They’re upsetting whole families by teaching for personal gain and satisfaction, what they shouldn’t teach. 12 One of those of Crete, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” {Sorry but we’re all liars, evil beasts and lazy gluttons!} 13 This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, 14 not devoting themselves to myths and the commands {or ideas?} of people who turn away from the truth. {Of “the world”.} 15 To the pure, all things are pure. [Food, days and drink, grace brings moderation] {also in ideas, beliefs and attitudes?} But to the defiled and disbelieving, nothing is pure, nor good. This is because their minds and their consciences are corrupted. 16 They profess to know God, but they deny him by their life and actions. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit [adokimos - disqualified, unapproved, rejected, failing to pass the test, counterfeit, not fit] for any good work {for serving.. Including serving called reigning during the two millenniums of the Lord’s long second advent, full scope version of his first so brief one?}

My own studies. Been neglecting Psalms (jan 1-20, feb-20’s, mar-30’s, apr-40’s, etc. dec-120-150) and the Prophets.
