ABU(i)
18 knowing that not with perishable things, silver and gold, ye were redeemed from your vain course of life received by tradition from your fathers,
19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot;
20 who was foreknown indeed before the foundation of the world, but manifested in these last times for you,
21 who through him believe on God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope are on God.
22 Having purified your souls in obeying the truth unto unfeigned brotherly love, love one another from the heart fervently;
23 being born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the word of God, which lives and abides forever.
24 Because, All flesh is as grass, And all its glory as the flower of grass. The grass withered, and its flower fell off;
25 But the word of the Lord abides forever. And this is the word which was preached to you.
