- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Appropinquate Deo, et appropinquabit vobis. Emundate manus, peccatores : et purificate corda, duplices animo.
- Greek New Testament (SBLGNT)
- ἐγγίσατε τῷ θεῷ, καὶ ἐγγιεῖ ὑμῖν. καθαρίσατε χεῖρας, ἁμαρτωλοί, καὶ ἁγνίσατε καρδίας, δίψυχοι.
Haydock's commentary
Purify your heart from the love of creatures, so that your affections be not divided betwixt God and this world, like persons of two minds3 or two souls. (Witham)
3 Duplices animo, dipsuchoi.
