1 Peter 1:18-25
18knowingG3609 that you were not 12redeemedG3084 with perishableG5349 thingsG5349 like silverG694 orG2228 goldG5553 from your 3futileG3152 wayG391 of lifeG391 inheritedG3970 from your forefathersG3970, 19but with preciousG5093 4bloodG129, as of a 5lambG286 unblemishedG299 and spotlessG784, the blood of ChristG5547. 20For He was 6foreknownG4267 beforeG4253 7the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, but has 8appearedG5319 9in theseG3588 lastG2078 timesG5550 10for the sakeG1223 of you 21who throughG1223 Him are 11believersG4103 in GodG2316, who raisedG1453 Him from the deadG3498 and 12gaveG1325 Him gloryG1391, soG5620 that your faithG4102 and 13hopeG1680 are in GodG2316.
22Since you have 14in obedienceG5218 to the truthG225 15purifiedG48 your soulsG5590 for a 1617sincereG505 loveG5360 of the brethrenG5360, ferventlyG1619 loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240 from 18the heartG2588, 23for you have been 19bornG313 againG313 20not of seedG4701 whichG5349 is perishableG5349 but imperishableG862, that is, throughG1223 the livingG2198 and enduringG3306 21wordG3056 of GodG2316. 24For, “22AllG3956 fleshG4561 is likeG5613 grassG5528, And allG3956 its gloryG1391 likeG5613 the flowerG438 of grassG5528. The grassG5528 withersG3583, And the flowerG438 fallsG1601 offG1601,2523But the wordG4487 of the LordG2962 enduresG3306 foreverG165.” And thisG3778 is 24the wordG4487 which was 25preachedG2097 to you.
