Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
So things that are passing, things that are lasting. We've been redeemed not with corruptible things that are going to pass away, silver and gold; but with the precious blood of Jesus Christ. I've been born again, not with the corruptible seed but the incorruptible, the Word of God, "which lives and abides forever" ( 1 Peter 1:23 ).
