1 Peter 1:22-25

English Standard Version ESV

22 Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart,

23 since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God;

24 for "All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls,

25 but the word of the Lord remains forever."And this word is the good news that was preached to you.

The Message Bible MSG

22 Now that you've cleaned up your lives by following the truth, love one another as if your lives depended on it.

23 Your new life is not like your old life. Your old birth came from mortal sperm; your new birth comes from God's living Word. Just think: a life conceived by God himself!

24 That's why the prophet said, The old life is a grass life, its beauty as short-lived as wildflowers; Grass dries up, flowers droop,

25 God's Word goes on and on forever. This is the Word that conceived the new life in you.
