Titus 1:16

There is a generation that is clean in its own eyes, Yet is not washed from its filthiness.

“Yet they seek Me day by day and find pleasure in knowing My ways, As a nation that has done righteousness And has not forsaken the judgment of their God. They ask Me for righteous judgments; They find pleasure in the nearness of God.

Transgressing and denying Yahweh, And turning back from our God, Speaking oppression and revolt, Conceiving in and uttering from the heart lying words.

“And if they say, ‘As Yahweh lives,’ Then they swear to a lie.”

You have planted them; they have also taken root; They grow; they have even produced fruit. You are near to their lips But far from their inmost being.

They cry out to Me, “My God, we of Israel know You!”

But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

For we ourselves also once were foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, despicable, hating one another.

For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
