22 Men who have purified your souls in obedience of the truth through the Spirit for non-hypocritical brotherly love. Ye should love each other fervently from a pure heart,

23 begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God that lives and remains into the age.

24 Because all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as a flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower of it falls away,

25 but the word of Lord endures into the age. And this is the word, the good-news that was preached to you.
