Study Lenses

The verse centers on "condemn", "having", "known", "hath", "been", "subverted", "such", and "doth". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "condemn" and "having", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 10's "A sectarian man after a first and..." into verse 12's "When I shall send Artemas unto thee...", so "condemn" and "having" belong inside that flow. In Titus context, the local focus is Christ, faith, and discipleship.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "condemn" and "having" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
