rsv 1Peter:1:23-25
rsv@1Peter:1:23 @ You have been born anew, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God;
rsv@1Peter:1:24 @ for "All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls,
rsv@1Peter:1:25 @ but the word of the Lord abides for ever." That word is the good news which was preached to you.
