1Pe 1:23. Ἀναγεγεννημένοι, being born again) Hence their brotherhood.-ἐκ σπορᾶς, of sowing) The Word of God is the seed, σπόρος: the preaching of the Word of God, the sowing, σπορά. Therefore of is not afterwards repeated, but the phrase, by the Word, is used.-ζῶντος καὶ μένοντος, living and abiding) This is connected with the Word, 1Pe 1:25. The Gospel bears incorruptible fruits, and not dead works; because it is in itself incorruptible. The living Word is full of efficacy; abiding for ever, it is free from all corruption.
