Context of 1 Peter 1:22

20He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was revealed in these last times for you. 21Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. Since you have purified yourselves by your obedience to the truth, so that you show sincere brotherly love for each other, from a pure heart love one another constantly, 23because you have been born again — not of perishable seed but of imperishable — through the living and enduring word of God. 24For All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like a flower of the grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls,
