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.

New King James Version
The Enduring Word
22 Since you (A)have purified your souls in obeying the truth [a]through the Spirit in [b]sincere (B)love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, 23 (C)having been born again, not of [c]corruptible seed but [d]incorruptible, (D)through the word of God which lives and abides [e]forever, 24 because
(E)“All flesh is as grass,
And all [f]the glory of man as the flower of the grass.
The grass withers,
And its flower falls away,
25 (F)But the [g]word of the Lord endures forever.”
(G)Now this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.
