22 Now that you have made your souls holy by obedience to the truth for sincere brotherly love, you must love one another steadily from your hearts,
23 for you have been reborn, not from mortal seed but from immortal by the living and enduring word of God.
24 For "All flesh is like grass and all its glory is like the flower of the grass; the grass withers and the flower falls,
25 but the word of the Lord endures forever." And this is the word of good news that has been brought to you.
