22 Having purified your souls by obedience to the truth to unfeigned brotherly love, love one another out of a pure heart fervently;
23 being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by {the} living and abiding 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;
25 but the word of {the} Lord abides for eternity. But this is the word which in the glad tidings {is} preached to you.
