18 knowing that, not with perishable things, with silver or gold, were ye redeemed from your vain course of life handed down from your fathers; 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot; 20 foreknown, indeed, from a founding of a world, but manifested in the end of the times for you, 21 who through Him believe in God, Who raised Him from the dead, and gave Him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God. 22 Having purified your souls in your obedience to the truth unto unfeigned brotherly love, love one another from the heart earnestly; 23 having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible, through the word of God, that lives and abides. 24 Because "All flesh is as grass, and all its glory as the flower of grass: the grass withered, and the flower fell off; but the word of the Lord abides forever." 25 And this is the word of the good news which was proclaimed to you. 1 Peter 1:18-25, Worrell New Testament.
