1 Peter 1:22

20 ^aHe indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was¹ manifest ^bin these last times for you

21 who through Him believe in God, ^awho raised Him from the dead and ^bgave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

The Enduring Word

22 Since you ^ahave purified your souls in obeying the truth¹ through the Spirit in sincere ^blove of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart,

23 ^ahaving been born again, not of¹ corruptible seed but incorruptible, ^bthrough the word of God which lives and abides³ forever,

24 because
^a“All flesh is as grass,
And all¹ the glory of man as the flower of the grass.
The grass withers,
And its flower falls away,

25 ^aBut the¹ word of the Lord endures forever.” ^bNow this is the word which by the gospel was preached to you.
