of the imperishable
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, genitive singular (masculine or feminine); attributive form from ἄφθαρτος. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective ἄφθαρτος means "not subject to decay or corruption," from the negated root φθαρ- (to destroy, spoil, decay). The genitive singular form ἀφθάρτου is rendered "of the imperishable," preserving both its incorruptible sense and its genitive case. |
