For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.

You have been born again by means of the living word of God. His word lasts forever. You were not born again from a seed that will die. You were born from a seed that can’t die.

since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God;

For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God.

because you have been born again— not of perishable seed but of imperishable— through the living and enduring word of God.

for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable, but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God.

having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever,

having been begotten again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which liveth and abideth.

since you have been born again— not of perishable seed but of imperishable— through the living and enduring word of God.

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

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

祝頌我主耶穌基督之父上帝、依其鴻慈、由耶穌基督自死復起、重生我儕、致獲維生之望、

蓋上帝之道活潑靈通、利於兩刃之劍、能剖刺魂與靈、節與髓、亦立辨人之心思意志也、

此必朽者將衣以不朽、必死者將衣以不死、必朽者既衣以不朽、必死者既衣以不死、所言死被消滅者、應矣、

其生也、非由血氣、非由情欲、非由人意、乃由上帝也、

耶穌曰、我誠語汝、人非更生、不能見上帝國也、

耶穌曰、我誠語汝、人非由水與聖神而生、不能入上帝國、

畀生者神也、肉無益、我語爾之言、神也、生也、

惟主道永存、斯道也、即所宣於爾之福音也、

我知凡由上帝而生者不干罪、

天地必廢、我言不廢、

且循己旨、以真道生我儕、俾於其所造者、猶初實之果焉、○

萬有由之而造、凡受造者、無不由之而造焉、

以不朽上帝之榮、而易以必朽之人、及禽獸昆蟲之狀、○

耶和華曰、先知有夢、任其述之、有我之言、則實道之、糠與麥何與乎、

我必斥爾之種子、以爾犧牲之糞、塗於爾面、爾與斯糞、同被移徙、
