1 Peter 1:24-25
1599 Geneva Bible
24 [a]For all (A)[b]flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man is as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower falleth away.
25 [c]But the word of the Lord endureth forever: and this is the word which is preached among you.

- 1 Peter 1:24 A reason why we have need of this heavenly generation, to wit, because that men, be their glory never so great, are of nature void of all true and sound goodness.
- 1 Peter 1:24 The word (flesh) showeth the weakness of our nature, which is chiefly to be considered in the flesh itself.
- 1 Peter 1:25 Again, lest any man should seek that spiritual force and virtue in fained imaginations, the Apostle calleth us back to the word of God: teaching us furthermore, that there is no other word of the Lord to be looked for, than this which is preached, in which only we must trust.
1 Peter 1:24-25
New International Version
24 For,
“All people are like grass,
and all their glory is like the flowers of the field;
the grass withers and the flowers fall,
25 but the word of the Lord endures forever.”[a](A)
And this is the word that was preached to you.
