1 Peter 1:23-25

23for you have been born again [that is, reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, and set apart for His purpose] not of seed which is perishable but [from that which is] imperishable and immortal, that is, through the living and everlasting word of God.

24For, “All flesh is like grass, And all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers And the flower falls off,

25But the word of the Lord endures forever.” And this is the word [the good news of salvation] which was preached to you.
