1 Peter 1:20-23

MLV(i) 20 who indeed, having been known beforehand, before the conception of the world, but was manifested in the last times because of you, 21 who believe through him in God. The God who raised him up from the dead and gave him glory; so-that your faith and hope might be in God. 22 Having purified your souls in the obedience to the truth through the Spirit toward non-pretended brotherly-love, intensely love*\'b0 one another from a clean heart; 23 having been born again, not out of corruptible seed, but from the incorruptible, through the word of God, which is living and remaining forever.
