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,

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 1:22

I Peter 1:22 Seeing ye have purified your souls. The Greek verb "hagnizo", rendered "purified", occurs seven times in the New Testament. In four of these, John 11:55 Ac 21:24,26 24:18, it refers to ceremonial purification. In the other three it refers to moral purification; the cleansing of the life from its sins. That seems to be the sense here. It refers not only to the forgiveness of sins but to the pure life that should follow. This purification is obtained in obeying the truth. That is, by obedience to the gospel. Through the Spirit. The Spirit is inseparable from the gospel. The gospel dispensation is that of the Spirit. See Acts 15:8. Unto unfeigned love of the brethren. The Spirit of Christ in our hearts is the spirit of brotherly love. [See that ye] love one another. How can one profess to follow Christ unless he loves those for whom Christ died? With a pure heart fervently. With a sincere heart.
