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,

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.
