Verse 13
‘This testimony is true. For which reason reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,’
Paul confirms his view that this testimony is in general true of Cretans, and therefore calls on Titus to reprove sharply (incisively) any who behave like this and call on believers to live as those who are sound in faith. The behaviour described in Titus 1:12 is not for Christians, and is contrary to all for which Christians stand. It is a reminder that we also should consider our national characteristics and repudiate any which are contrary to the teaching of Christ.
