1 Peter 1:18-25 ▼

18 Knowing that yee were not redeemed with corruptible things, as siluer and golde, from your vaine conuersation, receiued by the traditions of the fathers,

19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a Lambe vndefiled, and without spot.

20 Which was ordeined before the foundation of the world, but was declared in the last times for your sakes,

21 Which by his meanes doe beleeue in God that raised him from the dead, and gaue him glorie, that your faith and hope might bee in God,

22 Hauing purified your soules in obeying the trueth through the spirite, to loue brotherly without faining, loue one another with a pure heart feruently,

23 Being borne anewe, not of mortall seede, but of immortall, by the woorde of God, who liueth and endureth for euer.

24 For all flesh is as grasse, and all the glorie of man is as the flower of grasse. The grasse withereth, and the flower falleth away.

25 But the woorde of the Lorde endureth for euer: and this is the woorde which is preached among you.
