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;

The grass withers and the flower fades.
25     But the word of the Lord remains forever.”[a]

And that word is the Good News that was preached to you.
