King James Version KJV
New International Version NIV
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
21
Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
22
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
23 For 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:
23
Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
24
and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
25 But 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.
25
But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.
