22 Now that, through your obedience to the truth, you have purified your souls for cherishing sincere brotherly love, you must love another heartily and fervently.
23 For you have been begotten again by God's ever-living and enduring word from a germ not of perishable, but of imperishable life.
24 »All mankind resemble the herbage, and all their beauty is like its flowers. The herbage dries up, and its flowers drop off;«
25 But the word of the Lord remains for ever.« And that means the Message which has been proclaimed among you in the Good News.
