…and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,

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

…but from the inner disposition of your heart, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in God’s sight.
