to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn't fade away, reserved in heaven for you,
Fadeth not away — αμαρνατον. It cannot wither, it is always in bloom; a metaphor taken from those flowers that never lose their hue nor their fragrance. From the Greek αμαραντος we have our flowers called amaranths, because they preserve their hue and odour for a long time.
