| 24 ܡܛܠ ܕܟܠ ܒܤܪ ܥܡܝܪܐ ܘܟܠܗ ܝܐܝܘܬܗ ܐܝܟ ܥܘܦܝܐ ܕܚܩܠܐ ܝܒܫ ܥܡܝܪܐ ܘܚܡܐ ܥܘܦܝܐ ܀ | 24 for "All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, |
| 25 ܘܡܠܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܢ ܩܝܡܐ ܠܥܠܡܝܢ ܘܗܕܐ ܗܝ ܡܠܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܤܬܒܪܬܘܢ ܀ | 25 but the word of the Lord abides for ever." That word is the good news which was preached to you. |
