TITUS 1:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.”
They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works — they are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work — the final indictment reverses the connection between knowledge and conduct: to know God (homologein eidein) while denying him in works (tois ergois arnountai) is radical moral incoherence. The erga (works) reveal the true heart; knowledge without corresponding righteousness is demonic profession. The string of vices (detestable, disobedient, unfit) marks their total disqualification from ministry.
