Wherefore casting away all uncleanness, and abundance of naughtiness, with meekness receive the ingrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
Glossa Ordinaria
Wherefore, casting away, etc. He has admonished them to seek out doctrine; that they may receive it, and that they may be able to advance in it, he now exhorts to cleanness of body and of soul. For he who does not turn aside from evil cannot do good. The engrafted word. Which we lay upon your hearts by preaching; or the word which was engrafted and sown on the day of redemption, when God begot you; now receive it more perfectly, and fulfil in works what you hold in mystery.
