Titus 1:13 Context
11Whose mouthes must be stopped, who subuert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthie lucres sake. 12One of themselues, euen a Prophet of their owne, said: The Cretians are alway lyers, euill beasts, slow bellies. 13This witnesse is true: wherefore rebuke them sharpely that they may be sound in the faith; 14Not giuing heede to Iewish fables, and commandements of men that turne from the trueth. 15Unto the pure all things are pure, but vnto them that are defiled, and vnbeleeuing, is nothing pure: but euen their mind and conscience is defiled.

People's Bible Notes for Titus 1:13
Tit 1:13 This witness is true. Paul's observations confirmed it. So do many ancient writers. "Cretize" (Cretanize) became a slang phrase for lying. Wherefore rebuke them sharply. Their bad conduct must be sharply rebuked until the gospel so transforms them that they will become "sound in the faith".
