The Darby Translation DBY
New International Version NIV
20 foreknown indeed before [the] foundation of [the] world, but who has been manifested at the end of times for your sakes,
20
He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.
21 who by him do believe on God, who has raised him from among [the] dead and given him glory, that your faith and hope should be in God.
21
Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.
22 Having purified your souls by obedience to the truth to unfeigned brotherly love, love one another out of a pure heart fervently;
22
Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart.
23 being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by [the] living and abiding word of God.
23
For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
24 Because all flesh [is] as grass, and all its glory as [the] flower of grass. The grass has withered and [its] flower has fallen;
24
For, “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,
25 but the word of [the] Lord abides for eternity. But this is the word which in the glad tidings [is] preached to you.
25
but the word of the Lord endures forever.”And this is the word that was preached to you.
