1 Peter 1:22-25

Christian Standard Bible

²²Since you have purified yourselves by your obedience to the truth,^[a] so that you show sincere brotherly love for each other,^(A) from a pure^[b] heart love one another constantly,^[c]^(B) ²³because you have been born again^(C)—not of perishable seed^(D) but of imperishable—through the living and enduring word of God.^(E) ²⁴For

All flesh is like grass,
and all its glory^(F) like a flower of the grass.
The grass withers, and the flower falls,
²⁵but the word of the Lord endures forever.^[d]^(G)

And this word is the gospel that was proclaimed to you.
