19but with precious blood, as of a lamb without spot, the blood of Christ;
20who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but was revealed at the end of times for your sake,
21who through him are believers in God, that raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.
22Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently:
23having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever.
24For, "All flesh is like grass, And all of man`s glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls;
25But the Lord`s word endures forever." This is the word of good news which was preached to you.
