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.
