Titus 3:8-9

Paul now reminds Titus and urges him about the words he writes. These things are not only for Titus, but also to others. The goal is for the believers to devote themselves to good works. This is the way it should be and this is what it should look like. As they do these things, they are also to avoid things such as foolish controversies. There are many things that people, even believers, can get caught up in that aren't really that important. These other things may distract and be detrimental to them and the church. Paul clearly states that they are unprofitable and worthless.
