1 PETER 1:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:”
For, 'All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall' — the citation from Isaiah 40:6-7 establishes the transience of human glory (doxa anthropōn) in contrast to God's enduring word. The imagery of grass (chortos) withering and flowers falling evokes the destruction of human achievement and status.
