1 Peter 1:23-25

Living Bible

²³ For you have a new life. It was not passed on to you from your parents, for the life they gave you will fade away. This new one will last forever, for it comes from Christ, God’s ever-living Message to men. ²⁴ Yes, our natural lives will fade as grass does when it becomes all brown and dry. All our greatness is like a flower that droops and falls; ²⁵ but the Word of the Lord will last forever. And his message is the Good News that was preached to you.
