An inheritance incorruptible. The destined blessedness of God’s children. This has no tendency to decay, nor any susceptibility of pollution; nor can it even lose the bloom and freshness of it joy: for it is ‘laid up safe in heaven;’ whilst you, amidst all enemies, are ‘guarded as in the fortress of God’s power’ on earth. The Greek word for ‘kept’ is used in 2Co 11:32; Ga 3:23; Php 4:7
1Pe 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
Php 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
