Vincent's Word Studies in the NT

Titus 1:14

Not giving heed [μ η π ρ ο σ ε χ ο ν τ ε ς]. Reprove sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, and may show their soundness by not giving heed, etc. See on 1 Timothy 1:4.

To Jewish fables [ι ο υ δ α ι κ ο ι ς μ υ θ ο ι ς]. See on 1 Timothy 1:4. Note Jewish. The nature of these we do not know.

Commandments of men [ε ν τ ο λ α ι ς α ν θ ρ ω π ω ν]. See on 1 Timothy 6:14. Comp. Colossians 2:22. Prescriptions concerning abstinence from meats, marriage, etc. The men are probably those of the circumcision, verse Titus 1:1

0What they teach theoretically, by means of the myths, they bring to bear practically, by means of their precepts.

That turn from the truth [α π ο σ τ ρ ε φ ο μ ε ν ω ν τ η ν α λ η θ ε ι α ν]. Comp. 2 Timothy 4:4, where the truth and fables appear in contrast.
