Titus1:11
11 Whose mouths must be stopped , who subvert whole houses , teaching things which they ought not , for filthy lucre sake .
The word is active, such Ministers ought to be placed in Cities, as shall be able and fit to stop such persons mouthes, by sound Doctrine and Arguments fit to convince them, or thou oughtest to stop their mouths by silencing them, (though I do not see how this was practicable (in a Pagan Country) otherwise than by perswading Christians not to hear them.
Who as to the foundation of Faith and its building, overturn whole Families of Christians.
Infusing false Doctrine into them,
and all for filthy gain, and all gain is so, that is got by deceiving and ruining of peoples Souls, as to their Faith, and Salvation.
