1 Peter 1:23-25
Common English Bible
23 Do this because you have been given new birth—not from the type of seed that decays but from seed that doesn’t. This seed is God’s life-giving and enduring word. 24 Thus,
All human life on the earth is like grass,
and all human glory is like a flower in a field.
The grass dries up and its flower falls off,
25 but the Lord’s word endures forever.[a]
This is the word that was proclaimed to you as good news.

the grass withers and the flowers fall,
