4:25 . {Putting away} (apothemenoi). Second aorist middle
participle of apotith(886d)i, to put off, metaphor of removing
clothing as in  Ro 13:12  Col 3:8  Eph 4:22,25  1Pe 2:1 .
{Filthiness} (
uparian). Late word (Plutarch) from 
uparos,
dirty ( Jas 2:2 ), here only in N.T. Surely a dirty garment.
{Overflowing of wickedness} (perisseian kakias). Perisseia is
a late word (from perissos, abundant, exceeding), only four
times in N.T., in  2Co 8:2  with charas (of joy), in  Ro 5:17 
with charitos (of grace). Kakia (from kakos, evil) can be
either general like 
uparia (filthiness, naughtiness), or
special like "malice." But any of either sense is a
"superfluity." {With meekness} (en pra(9674)(8874)i). In docility. "The
contrast is with org(885c) rather than kakias" (Ropes). {The
implanted word} (	on emphuton logon). This old verbal adjective
(from emphu(935c) to implant, to grow in), only here in N.T.,
meaning properly ingrown, inborn, not emphuteuton (engrafted).
It is "the rooted word" (verse  18 ), sown in the heart as the
soil or garden of God ( Mt 13:3-23  15:13  1Co 3:6 ). {Able to

1:16 . Ultimate salvation (effective aorist active infinitive
s(9373)ai from s(937a)(935c)).
