1 Peter 1:22-25
Christian Standard Bible
22 Since 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) 23 because you have been born again(C)—not of perishable seed(D) but of imperishable—through the living and enduring word of God.(E) 24 For
All flesh is like grass,
and all its glory(F) like a flower of the grass.
The grass withers, and the flower falls,
25 but the word of the Lord endures forever.[d](G)
And this word is the gospel that was proclaimed to you.

1 Peter 1:22-25
International Standard Version
Love One Another
22 Now that you have obeyed the truth[a] and have purified your souls to love your brothers sincerely, you must love one another intensely and with a pure heart. 23 For you have been born again, not by a seed that perishes but by one that cannot perish—by the living and everlasting word of God.[b] 24 For
“All human life[c] is like grass,
and all its glory is like a flower in the grass.
The grass dries up and the flower drops off,
25 but the word of the Lord[d] lasts forever.”[e]
Now this word is the good news that was announced to you.
