         DefinitionShort: the state of not being subject to decay, leading to death

         Glosses: ['immortal', 'immortality']

         Comments: It is possible to translate this clause as ‘it will be raised and will never again die.’|In rendering ‘immortality’ it may be necessary to employ an entire clause, for example, ‘that people will not die.’ However, in {S:05500101000040} ‘life and immortality’ may be best understood as a phrase in which ‘immortality’ is a qualification of ‘life,’ and therefore one may translate ‘revealing immortal life through the gospel’ or ‘revealing by means of the good news the life that does not end.’

         DefinitionShort: a continuous state or process, with the implication that the state or process in question is not interrupted by death

         Glosses: ['unceasing', 'always', 'eternally', 'undying']

         Comments: A number of scholars, however, insist that ἀφθαρσία in {S:04900602400026} must be understood in the sense of ‘immortality’ or ‘eternity’ as a temporal expression, but one which can be rendered as ‘with undying love.’
