1 Peter 1:20-25

English Standard Version

²⁰He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but ^(A)was made manifest ^(B)in the last times for the sake of you ²¹^(C)who through him are believers in God, ^(D)who raised him from the dead and ^(E)gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

²²Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for ^(F)a sincere brotherly love, ^(G)love one another earnestly from a pure heart, ²³^(H)since you have been born again, ^(I)not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through ^(J)the living and abiding word of God; ²⁴for

^(K)“All flesh is like grass
and all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers,
and the flower falls,
²⁵^(L)but the word of the Lord remains forever.”

And this word ^(M)is the good news that was preached to you.
