Contextual Overview
6These ramrods, if you will, should be upstanding cowboys and have good reputations. He must be a faithful husband to his wife and his kids should believe in God without being rebellious and wild.
7A ramrod is a church leader who takes care of God's outfit. That's why he should be a stand-up kind of cowboy. He shouldn't be a braggart or a hothead. He shouldn't be prone to too much whiskey, too much fighting, or a crooked horse trader.
8Instead, he should enjoy having cowboys over for dinner and have a great love for doing the right thing. He needs to be very self-controlled and live like God has commanded us to live.
9He has to believe wholeheartedly in the truth that comes from God. That way, he can teach others the truth and be able to stand up to those who are wrong.
10There are a lot of gunsels who all they do is talk and try to lie to others. The one's I'm referring to right now are those who insist you have to have your pickle clipped in order to make it to heaven.
11These people need to have their mouths shut because they are driving people away from God with their foolish talk. Pickle clipping and selling salvation is big money and that is their god.
12Even one of their own men, one who could be considered a prophet in Crete, has said about them, "The people of Crete are lazy, backstabbing, no-accounts."
13I haven't seen anything to change my view of this. So, don't be afraid to speak to them frankly, without any sugarcoating. It's better to hurt their feelings and bring them to faith than not say anything and let them find out how hot hell is.
14They are like cows on loco weed. They've developed a taste for Jewish myths and old wives' tales of other people and it's killing them.
15Good hay comes from good pastures and bad hay can only come from bad pastures. Same goes for the heart of a man.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Not giving heed to Jewish fables,.... Concerning God himself, the angels, and the creation of man; concerning the giving of the law at Mount Sinai; concerning the Messiah and his earthly kingdom, and the feast that will be made for the righteous in his days, which will consist of flesh, fish, and fowl, Behemoth, Leviathan, and Zuz, and of wine kept in the grape from the foundation of the world; and concerning the rolling of the dead through the caverns of the earth at the resurrection, with a multitude of other things which were traditionally received.
And commandments of men: the traditions of the elders, which the Jews charged the disciples of Christ with the transgression of; and he, on the other hand, very justly reproached them with breaking the commands of God, by attending to them, Matthew 15:1. These were the laws and traditions of the fathers, which the Apostle Paul was brought up in, and was zealous of, before his conversion, Acts 22:3 and which these judaizing preachers and professors, he here has respect to, were fond of, though they were made by men,
that turn from the truth; or "hate it", as the Syriac version renders it; who were enemies unto it, as Hillell and Shammai, the heads of the traditional doctors, and as the Jews, and their Rabbins in general were; and therefore their commandments, of all men, should not be given heed to, by those that bear the Christian name.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Not giving heed to Jewish fables ... - See the notes at 1 Timothy 1:4.
And commandments of men that turn from the truth - Notes, Matthew 15:3-5.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 14. Not giving heed to Jewish fables — See on 1 Timothy 1:4; 1 Timothy 4:7.
Commandments of men — The injunctions of the scribes and Pharisees, which they added to the law of God.
That turn from the truth. — For such persons made the word of God of none effect by their traditions. Sometimes the verb αποστρεφομαι signifies to be averse from, slight, or despise. So, here, the persons in question despised the truth, and taught others to do the same.
