Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. |
having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever, |
for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable but imperishable, that is, through the living and abiding word of God. |
|
For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. |
You have been regenerated (born again), not from a mortal origin (seed, sperm), but from one that is immortal by the ever living and lasting Word of God. |
Having been begotten again not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the word of God which lives and abides; |
|
For you are not just mortals now but sons of God; the live, permanent Word of the living God which lives and abides; |
because you have been born anew, not from a germ that perishes but from one that does not perish, by the word of the living and everlasting God. |
