Which term describes the inheritance that does not fade away?

• A. Incorruptible and undefiled
• B. Eternal and Immortal
• C. Infinite and Bright
• D. Immutable and Pure

Answer: (A)

In Scripture, the believer’s heavenly inheritance is described as lasting without fading, specifically using the words incorruptible and undefiled. 1 Peter 1:4 refers to the inheritance as incorruptible, undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you. The best-fit term here is incorruptible and undefiled, because it directly names the enduring qualities of the inheritance: it cannot decay or become corrupt, and it remains pure. The other pairs convey ideas like timelessness, immortality, or unchanging perfection, but they don’t capture the exact biblical pairing that emphasizes both not decaying and not being defiled.
