22 You obeyed the truth, and your souls were made pure. Now you sincerely love each other. But you must keep on loving with all your heart.
23 Do this because God has given you new birth by his message that lives on forever.
24 The Scriptures say,“Humans wither like grass,and their glory fadeslike wild flowers.Grass dries up,and flowers fallto the ground.
25 But what the Lord has saidwill stand forever.”Our good news to you is what the Lord has said.
