1 Petrus 1:23-24

1:23 You have been born anew, not from perishable but from imperishable seed, through the living and enduring word of God. 1:24 For

all flesh ¹  is like grass

and all its glory like the flower of the grass; ² 

the grass withers and the flower falls off,

[1:24]  ¹ sn Here all flesh is a metaphor for humanity – human beings as both frail and temporary.

[1:24]  ² tn Or “a wildflower.”
