“Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.”
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 — the call to lay aside (apothesis) all malakia (filth/vice) creates space for the implanted word (logos emphytos) to take root and flourish. The 'word planted in you' suggests that the logos has been sown into receptive hearts, echoing the parable of the sower, and is capable of saving souls (psychē). The humbly received word becomes the source of transformation and spiritual life.
