1 Peter 1:23

“As a man, you were born anew, not from seed that is corruptible, but from that which is not corruptible, by the living word of Elohim that abides forever.”

The Scriptures[2]

“having been born again – not of corruptible seed, but incorruptible – through the Living Word of Elohim, which remains forever”

²³You have been born again not from some seed that will decay, but from one that cannot decay, through the living Word of God that lasts forever.

Incorruptible – Noah Webster’s Dictionary

INCORRUPT'IBLE, a.

1. That cannot corrupt or decay; not admitting of corruption. Thus gold, glass, mercury, &c., are incorruptible. Spirits are supposed to be incorruptible.

Our bodies shall be changed into incorruptible and immortal substances.

2. That cannot be bribed; inflexibly just and upright.

Jewish New Testament Commentary

The preeminent Christian theologian of the twentieth century, Karl Barth, notes that the eternal Word comes to New Covenant believers in three forms:

(1) Yeshua the Messiah. You have been born again through … the living Word of God that lasts forever. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning …. The Word became a human being and lived with us” (Yn 1:1–2, 14).

(2) Scripture, which Kefa quotes (Isaiah 40:6–8) as authenticating itself: The grass withers, and the flower falls off; but the Word of Adonai lasts forever. Compare MJ 4:12–13; Ya 1:10–11, 4:14.

(3) The preachings of God’s people, equated with the first two forms. Moreover, this “Word” is the Good News which has been proclaimed to you. Compare Ro 10:17.

See 2:1–3&N. [4]

Thank you for Redeeming me through the Incorruptible Word of G-d, Messiah Yeshua

Shalom Aleychem B’Shem Yeshua
