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

^(F)“All flesh is like grass
and all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers,
and the flower falls,

New American Standard Bible

²²Since you have ^(A)purified your souls ^(B)in obedience to the truth for a ^(C)sincere love of the brothers and sisters, fervently love one another from ^[a]the heart, ²³for you have been ^(D)born again ^(E)not of seed which is perishable, but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring ^(F)word of God. ²⁴For,

“^(G)All flesh is like grass,
And all its glory is like the flower of grass.
The grass withers,
And the flower falls off,
²⁵^(H)But the word of the Lord endures forever.”
