22Seeing ye have purifiedG48 yourG4771 soulsG3588G5590 inG1722 obeyingG3588G5218 the truthG3588G225 throughG1223 the SpiritG4151 untoG1519 unfeignedG505 love of the brethrenG5360, see that ye loveG25 one anotherG240 withG1537 a pureG2513 heartG2588 ferventlyG1619: 23Being born againG313, notG3756 ofG1537 corruptibleG5349 seedG4701, butG235 of incorruptibleG862, byG1223 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, which livethG2198 andG2532 abidethG3306 forG1519 everG3588G165. 24ForG1360 allG3956 fleshG4561 is asG5613 grassG5528, andG2532 allG3956 the gloryG1391 of manG444 asG5613 the flowerG438 of grassG5528. The grassG3588G5528 witherethG3583, andG2532 the flowerG3588G438 thereofG846 falleth awayG1601: 25ButG1161 the wordG4487 of the LordG2962 endurethG3306 forG1519 everG3588G165. AndG1161 thisG3778 isG1510 the wordG3588G4487 whichG3588 by the gospel is preachedG2097 untoG1519 youG4771.
