22 Seeing you{} have purified your{} souls in your{} obedience to the truth to unfeigned love of the brothers, love one another fervently from a pure heart:
23 having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and stays.
24 For, All flesh is as grass, And all its glory as the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls:
25 But the word of the Lord stays forever. And this is the word of good news which was preached to you{}.
