Additonal Notes:
1 Peter 1: 17-25 (KNT)
17 If you call on God as “father” – the God, that is, who judges everyone impartially according to their work – behave with holy fear throughout the time in which you are resident here. 18 You know, after all, that you were ransomed from the futile practices inherited from your ancestors, and that this ransom came not through perishable things like gold or silver, 19 but through the precious blood of the Messiah, like a lamb without spot or blemish. 20 He was destined for this from before the foundation of the world, and appeared at the end of the times for your sake, 21 for you (that is) who through him believe in God who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
22 Once your lives have been purified by obeying the truth, resulting in a sincere love for all your fellow believers, love one another eagerly from the heart. 23 You have been born again, not from seed which decays but from seed which does not – through the living and abiding word of God. 24 Because, you see –
All flesh is like grass
And all its glory is like the flower of the field.
The grass withers, and the flower falls,
25 But the word of the Lord last forever.
That is the word that was announced to you.
