1 Peter 1:22-25
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
22 Now that you have purified your souls[a] by your obedience to the truth[b] so that you have genuine mutual affection, love one another deeply from the heart.[c](A) 23 You have been born anew, not of perishable but of imperishable seed, through the living and enduring word of God.[d](B) 24 For
“All flesh is like grass
and all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers,
and the flower falls,(C)
25 but the word of the Lord endures forever.”
That word is the good news that was announced to you.(D)

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.
