ἀφθαρσία. The state which the bodies of the dead in Christ (now going to corruption in their graves) will have at the resurrection. When this takes place, and the mortal shall have put on immortality, death will be swallowed up in victory! 1 Cor. 15: 42-54. In Rom. 2: 7, and 2 Tim. 1: 10 the word is the same as the above, and should be translated 'incorruption' instead of 'immortality.'
