Titus 1:10-16 MWT
10 For there are many men who are not ruled by God's word, profitless talkers, and deceivers of the mind, especially those men who adhere to the law of circumcision. 11 It is necessary to shut the mouths of these, as these very men keep on subverting entire households by teaching things apart from Christ's teachings for the sake of dishonest gain. 12 A certain one of them, their own prophet, said: "Cretans are always liars, injurious evil beasts, unemployed gluttons." 13 This testimony is true; for which cause rebuke them sharply, so that they shall be sound in the faith, 14 not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of people, turning themselves away from the truth. 15 All things indeed [are] pure to the pure of heart, but to the unbeliever with a judgmental and dirty mind, nothing [is] pure. Both their mind and their conscience [are] defiled. 16 They profess to know God, but they deny [Him] by their works. Being detestable and disobedient to God's word, they disqualify themselves for every good work.

Titus 1:10-16 ALT
(10) For there are also many [who are] insubordinate, idle-talkers, and deceivers, especially the [ones] of the circumcision, (11) whose mouth it is necessary to be silencing, who overturn [or, upset] whole households, teaching what is not necessary, for the sake of dishonest gain. (12) A certain one of them, a prophet of their own, said, "Cretans [are] always liars, evil beasts, [and] lazy bellies [fig., gluttons]!" [i.e. a quote from Epimendes, c. 600 B.C.] (13) This testimony is true; for which cause rebuke them sharply, so that they shall be sound in the faith, (14) not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of people, turning themselves away from the truth. (15) All things indeed [are] pure to the pure, but to the ones having been defiled and unbelieving nothing [is] pure, but both their mind and their conscience [are] defiled. (16) They profess to know God, but they deny [Him] in their works, being detestable and disobedient and disqualified for every good work.

Titus 1:10-16 LITV
(10) For there are indeed many insubordinate men, empty talkers and mind-deluders, especially those of the circumcision, (11) whose mouth you must stop, who overturn whole houses, teaching things which they ought not for the sake of ill gain. (12) One of them, a prophet of their own, said: Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons. (13) This testimony is true; for which cause convict them severely, that they may be sound in the faith, (14) not listening to Jewish myths and commandments of men, having turned away from the truth. (15) Truly, all things are pure to the pure, but to the ones being defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but even their mind and conscience has been defiled. (16) They profess to know God, but by their works they deny Him, being abominable and disobedient, and worthless to every good work.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
