TITUS 1:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.”
To the pure, all things are pure, but to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; both their minds and their consciences are defiled — this aphorism establishes ethical trajectory flowing from inner disposition: purity reflects inner purity, defilement inner corruption. Paul inverts purity-law categories: not external actions but inner state determines holiness or uncleanness. The defiled person's nous (mind) and syneidēsis (conscience) are both corrupted, meaning their moral judgment is compromised — they cannot discern truth.
