Study Note
The instruction to 'lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls' pairs the metaphors of undressing (stripping off soiled garments) and horticultural grafting to describe the reception of Scripture. The term 'engrafted' (emphutos, implanted by nature or by cultivation) may refer to the word as sown in the heart (like the parable of the soils, which Philo also used with emphutos language) or to the word as implanted in the new nature at regeneration. The qualifier 'with meekness' sets the reception posture: the word must be received not as an object to be evaluated and judged but with the openness of one who submits to its authority. The following verse (1:22-25) extends this metaphor with the mirror illustration of hearing versus doing.
