John 1:14

[sylvius]

Because the Word of God brings the good news of resurrection and eternal life.

So that's, according to Peter, the meaniing of:

"All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower of the field; the grass withers, and the flower wilts; but the word of the Lord remains forever."

So Peter was wrong about that?

(since you said:

"The Hebrew text is intending to contrast the briefness of a person's existence with the everlasting nature of God's Word. Our existence is like the grass of the field, here today, and gone tomorrow. " )

This life. Birth to death. Not eternal life.

Sheesh.

Thanks, sylvius, I really like this intertextual midrash.

[Pilgrim]

Greek: τοῦτο δέ ἐστιν τὸ ῥῆμα τὸ εὐαγγελισθὲν εἰς ὑμᾶς

Matches with John 1:14!

Except of course that John 1 doesn't use euangellion. It uses logos. So the linguistic ling is tenuous at best.

It uses both "logos" and "sarx"

"kai ho logos sarx egeneto"
