Titus 110-14 (NKJV)

  who subvert whole households, teaching things
  which they ought not, for the sake of dishonest
  gain. 12 One of them, a prophet of their own,
  said, "Cretans are always liars, evil beasts,
  lazy gluttons." 13 This testimony is true.
  Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be
  sound in the faith, 14 not giving heed to Jewish
  fables and commandments of men who turn from the
  truth.

Paul wanted these false prophets rebuked because
they were spreading lies about Gentile believers

  spring up from the earth, if it has caught
  nothing at all?
• 6 If a trumpet is blown in a city, will not the
  people be afraid? If there is calamity in a city,

1 Corinthians 29

• 6 However, we speak wisdom among those who are
  mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of
  the rulers of this age, who are coming to
  nothing.

  the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the
  ages for our glory,
• 8 which none of the rulers of this age knew for
  had they known, they would not have crucified the
  Lord of glory.
• 9 But as it is written "Eye has not seen, nor
  ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man
  the things which God has prepared for those who
  love Him."

  Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes,
  the deep things of God.
• 11 For what man knows the things of a man except
  the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no
  one knows the things of God except the Spirit of
  God.

  world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we
  might know the things that have been freely given
  to us by God.
• 13 These things we also speak, not in words which
  man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit
  teaches, comparing spiritual things with
  spiritual.
• 14 But the natural man does not receive the
  things of the Spirit of God, for they are
  foolishness to him nor can he know them, because
  they are spiritually discerned.
