Titus 1:15
Compare all
13 This testimony is true. aTherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,  
14 not giving heed to Jewish fables and acommandments of men who turn from the truth.  
15 aTo the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled.  
16 They profess to aknow God, but bin works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, cand disqualified for every good work.

Titus 1:15

Unto the pure all things are pure - This appears to have been spoken in reference to the Jewish distinctions of clean and unclean meats. To the genuine Christian every kind of meat proper for human nourishment is pure, is lawful, and may be used without scruple. This our Lord had long before decided. See on Luke 11:39-41 (note).

But unto them that are defiled - In their consciences, and unbelieving, , unfaithful both to offered and received grace, nothing is pure - they have no part in Christ, and the wrath of God abides upon them. Their mind is contaminated with impure and unholy images and ideas, and their conscience is defiled with the guilt of sins already committed against God.
