^{21 Ref} Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls{or, preserve your life.}.

^{22 Ref} But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.

^{23 Ref} For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a mirror;

^{24 Ref} for he sees himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

^{25 Ref} But he who looks into the perfect law, the law of freedom, and continues, not being a hearer who forgets but a doer of the work, this man will be blessed in what he does.
