1 Peter 1:22
Compare all
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.

1 Peter 1:22

Seeing ye have purified (hgnikotev). Perfect active participle of agnizw, old verb from agnov (pure), here with yuxav (souls), with kardiav (hearts) in James 4:8 as in I John 3:3 of moral cleansing also. See the ceremonial sense of the word as in LXX in John 11:55; Acts 21:24, Acts 21:26; Acts 24:18.

In your obedience (en th upakoh). With repetition of the idea in I Peter 1:2, I Peter 1:14 (children of obedience).

To the truth (thv aleqeiav). Objective genitive with which compare John 17:17, John 17:19 about sanctification in the truth and II Thessalonians 2:12 about believing the truth. There is cleansing power in the truth of God in Christ.

Unfeigned (anupokriton). Late and rare double compound, here alone in Peter, but see James 3:17; II Corinthians 6:6, etc. No other kind of filadelfia (brotherly love) is worth having (I Thessalonians 4:9; Hebrews 13:1; II Peter 1:7).

From the heart fervently (ek kardiav ektenwv). Late adverb (in inscriptions, Polybius, LXX). The adjective ektenhv is more common (I Peter 4:8).
