Imperishable

Everyone who competes in the games trains with strict discipline. They do it for a crown that is perishable, but we do it for a crown that is imperishable.

So will it be with the resurrection of the dead: What is sown is perishable; it is raised imperishable.

Now I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

…in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

For the perishable must be clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality.

When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come to pass: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”

…and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, reserved in heaven for you,

For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.
