23 Having been regeneratedNot out of corruptible seed, but incorruptiblethrough means of the word of a Living and Abiding God;

24 Inasmuch asAll flesh, is as grass, and, all the glory thereof, as the flower of grass,The grass hath withered, and the flower hath fallen out,

25 But the declaration of the Lord age-abidingly remaineth; And, this, is a declaration which in the joyful message hath been announced unto you.
