22 Your souls having purified in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to brotherly love unfeigned, out of a pure heart one another love ye earnestly,

23 being begotten again, not out of seed corruptible, but incorruptible, through a word of God -- living and remaining -- to the age;

24 because all flesh [is] as grass, and all glory of man as flower of grass; wither did the grass, and the flower of it fell away,

25 and the saying of the Lord doth remain -- to the age; and this is the saying that was proclaimed good news to you.
