1 Peter 1:23

Being born again] RV 'having been begotten again': cp. 1 Peter 1:3. Not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible] cp. John 1:12; 1 John 3:9. By the word] We need not discuss whether 'the word' means Christ, or the word of the gospel preached or written; or, again, the word that is heard in each man's conscience. All forms of God's speech are summed up in Christ, who is the Truth: cp. Hebrews 1:2. The word of God, which liveth] RM 'or, God who liveth': cp. Daniel 6:26.
