Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.

Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.

For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror;

For in many things we all stumble. If anyone does not stumble in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.
