22 Now that you have obeyed the truth and have purified your souls to love your brothers sincerely, you must love one another intensely and with a pure heart.
23 For you have been born again, not by a seed that perishes but by one that cannot perish—by the living and everlasting word of God.
24 For "All human life is like grass,and all its glory is like a flower in the grass. The grass dries up and the flower drops off,
25 but the word of the Lord lasts forever."Now this word is the good news that was announced to you.
