13 This testimony is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men, who turn themselves away from the truth.

16 They profess that they know God: but in their works they deny him; being abominable, and incredulous, and to every good work reprobate.
