Consequently as regards his form, incorruption is more natural to man than to other corruptible things.

The immortal soul dwells in a mortal tabernacle; so Christians sojourn amid corruptible things, looking for the incorruptibility in the heavens.

Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as gold or silver, from your vain conversation of the tradition of your fathers:

First: His by redemption, for we are redeemed not with corruptible things such as silver and gold, but with the precious blood of Christ.

'Ye were redeemed not with corruptible things as silver and gold, but with the precious blood of Christ.'

"Ye are redeemed not with corruptible things, such as silver and gold, but by the precious blood of Christ."

"Ye were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold," but with blood, precious blood, even the blood of Christ.
