18 Knowing that not with corruptible things, silver and gold, were ye redeemed from your vain mode of life transmitted from your fathers. 19 But with precious blood, as of a lamb blameless and spotless, of Christ: 20 Known truly before the foundation of the world, and made manifest in the last times for you, 21 Who by him believing in God, having raised him from the dead, and having given him glory; that your faith and hope should be in God. 22 Having purified your souls in the hearing of the truth by the Spirit to unfeigned brotherly love, out of pure hearts love ye one another cordially: 23 Begotten again, not of corrupted seed, but uncorrupted, by the word of God, living and remaining forever. 24 For all flesh as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass dried up, and the flower fell out: 25 And the word of the Lord remains forever. And this is the word having announced good news to you. 1 Peter 1:18-25, Smith's Literal Translation.
