The word aphthartos stresses God’s immortal, un-decaying, or imperishable nature in contrast to men, who do perish and decay. The title “Incorruptible God” uses an older word to express that same nature.
Incorruptible God in the Greek text of Romans 1:23.
Incorruptible God in Greek:
Ho aphthartos Theos
Strong’s Concordance numbers: 862a, 2316
Bible reference: Rom. 1:23
Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. (Romans 1:22-23)
The KJV uses the word uncorruptible, while the NIV calls God the immortal God.
In 1 Timothy 1:17, God is called the King eternal, immortal, invisible.
