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.

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

祝謝吾主耶穌基督之父上帝、因其鴻慈、甦耶穌基督、賜我重生、可望永生、

蓋上帝之諭、活潑潑地、自有功效、利於鋒刃、凡神氣骨髓、無不剖刺、心之意念、無不鑒察、

時可壞者、加以不壞、死者、加以不死、壞者既加以不壞、死者既加以不死、則經所言、死無權而消滅、應矣、

是非由血氣、非由情欲、非由人意而生、乃由上帝也、

耶穌曰、我誠告爾、人非更生、不能見上帝國、

耶穌曰、我誠告爾、人不以水以聖神而生、不能進上帝國、

夫神所以生、肉無益、我所言者、神也、生也、

惟主道永存、福音傳汝者、即斯道也、

出自上帝者、吾知其不犯罪、既自上帝出、則自慎防閑、惡敵不足以害之、

天地可廢、吾言不可廢、○

自行己志、以真道生我、為億兆首宗主之人、

萬物以道而造、凡受造者、無不以之而造、

不崇永生上帝之榮、反拜速朽世人禽獸昆蟲之像、

耶和華又曰、如先知有夢、則直曰出之夢、如我有命、則直曰我之命、維糠與麥。何能比儗。

爾雖播種、我必壞之、爾守節期、而獻牲畜、我必以其糞、塗爾之容、人徙斯糞、亦必徒爾、
