1 Peter 1:22-25
New Living Translation
22 You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters.[a] Love each other deeply with all your heart.[b]
23 For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God. 24 As the Scriptures say,
“People are like grass;
their beauty is like a flower in the field.
The grass withers and the flower fades.
25 But the word of the Lord remains forever.”[c]
And that word is the Good News that was preached to you.

1 Peter 1:22-25
New American Standard Bible
22 Since 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, 23 for 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. 24 For,
“(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.”
And this is (I)the word which was [b]preached to you.
