1 Peter 1:23 Context
21Who by him do beleeue in God that raised him vp from the dead, and gaue him glorie, that your faith and hope might be in God. 22Seeing yee haue purified your soules in obeying the truth through the Spirit, vnto vnfained loue of the brethren: see that ye loue one another with a pure heart feruently, 23Being borne againe, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God which liueth and abideth for euer. 24For all flesh is as grasse, and all the glory of man as the flowre of grasse: the grasse withereth, and the flowre thereof falleth away. 25But the word of the Lord endureth for euer: & this is the word which by the Gospel is preached vnto you.

People's Bible Notes for 1 Peter 1:23
1Pe 1:23 Being born again. At conversion. See Joh 3:1-6. Not of corruptible seed. A birth always implies a moving cause. In this birth the new life is planted by "incorruptible" seed, even by the word of God. See also Ac 10:36 Jas 1:18. The gospel preached and lodged in the heart, "the power of God to salvation" (Ro 1:16), is the power that moves the soul to a new life. Which liveth and abideth forever. God's word is living and eternal. It has life in it and hence communicates life. See Heb 4:12.
