22 Having purified your souls in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to unhypocritical brotherly love, love one another earnestly out of a pure heart, 23 being begotten again, not out of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through a word of God—living and remaining—throughout the age; 24 because all flesh [is] as grass, and all glory of man as flower of grass; the grass withered, and the flower of it fell away, 25 but the saying of the LORD remains—throughout the age; and this is the saying of good news that was proclaimed to you.
