1. perishable, corruptible — The Greek adjective φθαρτός describing something subject to decay, corruption, or destruction—the transient, material quality of earthly things as opposed to the imperishable nature of divine realities. All 6 NT occurrences carry this single meaning, contrasting the perishable with the imperishable (1 Cor 9:25, 15:53-54; 1 Pet 1:18, 1:23; Rom 1:23). S78545 (5x, various singular cases and one genitive feminine) and S78546 (1x, dative neuter plural 'with perishable things') differ only in grammatical number and case. Translations are uniform: Spanish 'corruptible,' Arabic 'فانٍ/فاسد,' Hindi 'नाशवान,' Korean '썩을 것,' Swahili 'inayoharibika.' No semantic distinction warranted. 6×
