1 Peter 1:25
23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
24 For, “All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,
but the word of the Lord stands forever.” And this is the word that was proclaimed to you.
