1 PETER 1:23 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.”
For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God — the regeneration (anagennaomai) through God's 'living and abiding word' (logou zōntos kai menontos theou) contrasts with birth from perishable seed (spora phtharte), establishing that the new birth originates in God's eternal, vital word. The permanence of the word ensures the permanence of the new birth.
