The verses around Titus 1:15.
13This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
14Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
15Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
16They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Verse explanation
This responds to ritual purity rules about food and contact that some teachers tried to impose on the Cretan Christians, a practice similar to what is discussed in Colossians 2. Paul relocates the problem: for him, impurity lies in a person’s mind and conscience and behavior, not in specific objects or foods.

A los que tienen mentes puras, todo les parece puro; pero para los que son corruptos y se niegan a creer en Dios, nada es puro. Porque tanto sus mentes como sus conciencias están corrompidas.
