   ²¹Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

   ²²But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

   ²³For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

   ²⁴For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

   ²⁵But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
