This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Corruption (phthoran). For this old word from phtheirō, see note on 1Co 15:42. The precise meaning turns on the context, here plainly the physical and moral decay or rottenness that follows sins of the flesh as all men know. Nature writes in one’s body the penalty of sin as every doctor knows.
Eternal life (zōēn aiōnion). See note on Mat 25:46 for this interesting phrase so common in the Johannine writings. Plato used aiōnios for perpetual. See also 2Th 1:9. It comes as nearly meaning “eternal” as the Greek can express that idea.
