1 Peter 1:25

1 Peter 1:25

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.

<< 1 Peter 1:24

1 Peter 2:1 >>

(Psalms 119:89.)

this is the word . . . preached unto you—That is eternal which is born of incorruptible seed (I Peter 1:24): but ye have received the incorruptible seed, the word (I Peter 1:25); therefore ye are born for eternity, and so are bound now to live for eternity (I Peter 1:22-23). Ye have not far to look for the word; it is among you, even the joyful Gospel message which we preach. Doubt not that the Gospel preached to you by our brother Paul, and which ye have embraced, is the eternal truth. Thus the oneness of Paul's and Peter's creed appears. See my Introduction, showing Peter addresses some of the same churches as Paul labored among and wrote to.
