1 Peter 1:23-2:2

Etheridge(i) 23 as men who are regenerated, not by a perishable seed, but by that which is imperishable, by the living word of Aloha which abideth for ever. 24 Because all flesh is grass, and all its beauty as the flower of the field. The grass withereth and the flower drieth up, 25 but the word of our God abideth for ever; and this is that word which is preached unto you. 2 1 MAKE to cease therefore from you all malice and all guile, and dissimulation, and envy, and slander; 2 and be as (new)-born babes, and be desirous of the word as of milk pure and spiritual, that by it you may increase unto life.
