1 Peter 1:22-25
Legacy Standard Bible
22 Since you have (A)in obedience to the truth (B)purified your souls for a love of the brothers (C)without hypocrisy, fervently love one another from [a]the heart, 23 for you have been (D)born again (E)not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, that is, through the living and enduring (F)word of God. 24 For,
“(G)All flesh is like grass,
And all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers,
And the flower falls off,
25 (H)But the word of the Lord endures forever.”
And this is (I)the word which was [b]proclaimed to you as good news.

American Standard Version
22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned love of the brethren, love one another [a]from the heart fervently: 23 having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of [b]God, which liveth and abideth. 24 For,
[c]All flesh is as grass,
And all the glory thereof as the flower of grass.
The grass withereth, and the flower falleth:
25 But the [d]word of the Lord abideth for ever.
And this is the [e]word of good tidings which was [f]preached unto you.
