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.

²⁴To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
²⁵Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
²⁶For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
²⁷Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?

³⁰Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry;
³¹But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house.
³²But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.
³³A wound and dishonour shall he get; and his reproach shall not be wiped away.

³⁵He will not regard any ransom; neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.
