1 Peter 1:20-25
English Standard Version
20 He 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.
22 Having 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; 24 for
(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.

1 Peter 1:20-25
New International Version
20 He was chosen before the creation of the world,(A) but was revealed in these last times(B) for your sake. 21 Through him you believe in God,(C) who raised him from the dead(D) and glorified him,(E) and so your faith and hope(F) are in God.
22 Now that you have purified(G) yourselves by obeying(H) the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply,(I) from the heart.[a] 23 For you have been born again,(J) not of perishable seed, but of imperishable,(K) through the living and enduring word of God.(L) 24 For,
“All people are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall,
25 but the word of the Lord endures forever.”[b](M)
And this is the word that was preached to you.
