“Immortality (ἀθανασία)” From
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
The
deathless state which stands in contrast to the mortality of
man
, and which the “mortal” will “
put
on” when “changed” (
1 Cor. 15:53-54
53
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. (1 Corinthians 15:53‑54)
).
God
only
has in Himself immortality, being the
fountain
and source of
life
for
all
things (
1 Tim. 6:16
16
Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honor and power everlasting. Amen. (1 Timothy 6:16)
). In
Romans 2:7
7
To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life: (Romans 2:7)
and
2 Timothy 1:10
10
But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: (2 Timothy 1:10)
the word
is (
ἀφθαρσία
, not “immortality,” but “
incorruption
.”
The immortality of the
soul
is plainly revealed in
scripture
. God breathed into
Adam
’s nostrils the breath of life, and he became a living soul (
Gen. 2:7
7
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. (Genesis 2:7)
), which is quite different from anything said of a mere animal. The
Lord
, when showing the Sadducees that God is not the God of the dead, but of the living, added “for all
live
unto [or ‘for’]
him
” (
Luke 20:38
38
For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him. (Luke 20:38)
), though as to the body
they
may
have
died.
“Incorruption (ἀφθαρσία)” From
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
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
42
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43
It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45
And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46
Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47
The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48
As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49
And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51
Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54
So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. (1 Corinthians 15:42‑54)
). In
Romans 2:7
7
To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life: (Romans 2:7)
and
2 Timothy 1:10
10
But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: (2 Timothy 1:10)
the word
is the same as the above, and should be translated “incorruption” instead of “immortality.”
