22 Purifying your souls in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to unfeigned love of the brothers, love one another fervently out of a pure heart,

23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the living word of God, and abiding forever.

24 For all flesh [is] as grass, and all the glory of men as the flower of the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls out,

25 but the Word of the Lord endures forever. And this is the Word preached as gospel to you.
