Commentators explain that the believer's inheritance is described with three distinct qualities. It is 'incorruptible,' meaning it can never decay or be destroyed. It is 'undefiled,' signifying its perfect purity, unstained by sin. Finally, it 'fadeth not away,' meaning its beauty and glory will never diminish, like a flower that never withers.
