Greetings, Everyone! Peace to you and Yours!! My paths to UNDERSTANDING haven't been all that easy for me, so please, bear with me. When speaking of the Spirit of GOD, it's obvious that HE (being perfect in all things) cannot have a corruptible one. But what of mankind? Direct references to incorruption are found only in the Christian Greek Scriptures. There the word translates the Greek aยทphtharยทsi'a, formed of the negative prefix a and a form of phthei'ro. This latter word means "corrupt" (2Co 7:2) or "spoil" (1Co 15:33), hence to bring to a lower or inferior state; also "put to death" or "destroy." (2Pe 2:12) The adjective form a'phtharยทtos (incorruptible) is also used. When it comes to "corruption" and "corruptibility," there exists certain distinctions that feel are worth noting.
