21. So get rid of every filthy habit and all wicked conduct. Submit to God and accept the word that he plants in your hearts, which is able to save you.
22. Do not deceive yourselves by just listening to his word; instead, put it into practice.
23. Whoever listens to the word but does not put it into practice is like a man who looks in a mirror and sees himself as he is.
24. He takes a good look at himself and then goes away and at once forgets what he looks like.
