23 as you have been born again not of corruptible but of incorruptible seed, by the word of God, which liveth and endureth forever.
24 Because "all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as a flower of grass. the grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth,
25 but the decree of the Lord endureth forever", and this is the decree which hath been proclaimed as glad tidings for you;
2 1 Therefore laying aside all malice, and all deceit, and every kind of hypocrisy, envy and slander,
2 like newborn babes desire the pure milk of the word that by it you may thrive.
