²²You were cleansed from your sins when you obeyed the truth, so now you must show sincere love to each other as brothers and sisters.#1:22a Greek must have brotherly love. Love each other deeply with all your heart.#1:22b Some manuscripts read with a pure heart. ²³For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God. ²⁴As the Scriptures say,“People are like grass;their beauty is like a flower in the field.The grass withers and the flower fades. ²⁵But the word of the Lord remains forever.”#1:24-25 Isa 40:6-8.And that word is the Good News that was preached to you.
