← 1 Peter 1:23	1 Peter 1:24 (KJV)	1 Peter 1:25 →
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.	For all flesh [is] as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:	But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
