1 Pedro 1

23 because you have been born again  * 1:23 1Pt 1:3  — not of perishable seed  * 1:23 1Jn 3:9 but of imperishable — through the living and enduring word of God.  * 1:23 Lk 8:21; Heb 4:1224 For

All flesh is like grass,

and all its glory* 1:24 1Pt 5:4like a flower of the grass.

The grass withers, and the flower falls,

25 but the word of the Lord endures forever.* 1:24–25 Is 40:6–8,* 1:24–25 Is 40:6–8; Lk 21:33; Jms 1:10–11; 1Jn 2:17

And this word is the gospel that was proclaimed to you.
