to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn't fade away, reserved in heaven for you,
Incorruptible ...  Paul also spoke of the Christian's inheritance  (Ephesians 1:14;  Colossians 3:24), and all of the sacred writers extolled the virtues of it. Canaan, the inheritance of the old Israel, had indeed been corrupted; foreign enemies invaded it and subjected the people to slavery; evil kings arose from themselves who oppressed and devoured the land; but the heavenly inheritance cannot be corrupted.  There seems also to be in this word a remembrance of what Jesus said about moth and rust corrupting earthly wealth  (Matthew 6:19ff).  Even the very best of earthly treasures are destined to failure and decay at last when not even the earth itself shall stand.
