For you will not abandon my soul
to Hades, or let your Holy One see
corruption.
(Acts 2:27)
ESV
And as for the fact that he raised
him from the dead, no more to
return to corruption, he has
spoken in this way, “‘I will give
you the holy and sure blessings of
David.’ Therefore he says also in
another psalm, “‘You will not let
your Holy One see corruption.’ For
David, after he had served the
purpose of God in his own
generation, fell asleep and was
laid with his fathers and saw
corruption, but he whom God raised
up did not see corruption.
(Acts 13:34-37)
ESV
That the creation itself will be
set free from its bondage to
corruption and obtain the freedom
of the glory of the children of
God.
(Romans 8:21)
ESV
For the one who sows to his own
flesh will from the flesh reap
corruption, but the one who sows
to the Spirit will from the Spirit
reap eternal life.
(Galatians 6:8)
ESV
By which he has granted to us his
precious and very great promises,
so that through them you may
become partakers of the divine
nature, having escaped from the
corruption that is in the world
because of sinful desire.
(2 Peter 1:4)
ESV
They promise them freedom, but
they themselves are slaves of
corruption. For whatever overcomes
a person, to that he is enslaved.
(2 Peter 2:19)
ESV
