It conveys the idea of something that is enduring and everlasting, contrasting with the temporal and perishable nature of earthly things.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of something being "unfading" was often associated with immortality and the divine. The Greeks valued the idea of eternal beauty and life, which is reflected in their mythology and philosophy. In the New Testament, this term is used to describe the eternal inheritance and glory that believers have in Christ, emphasizing the contrast between the temporary nature of earthly life and the eternal nature of the heavenly promise.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>263</b> <i>amárantos</i> (an adjective, derived from <a href="/greek/1.htm">1</a> <i>/A</i> "without" and <a href="/greek/3133.htm">3133</a> <i>/maraínō</i>, "to fade") – properly, what will <i>not fade</i> (<i>imperishable</i>).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/1.htm">alpha</a> (as a neg. prefix) and <a href="/greek/3133.htm">marainó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>unfading<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>fade away (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 263: ἀμάραντος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀμάραντος</span></span>, (from <span class="greek2">μαραίνω</span>; cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἀμίαντος</span></span>, <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἄφαντος</span></span>, etc.), <span class="accented">not fading away, unfading, perennial</span>; <span class="manuref">Vulg.</span><span class="latin">immarcescibilis</span>: (hence, the name of the flower (<span class="abbreviation">Dioscorides</span> (<DATE_RANGE:100 A.D.>?) 4, 57, others); see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἀμαράντινος</span></span>): <a href="/interlinear/1_peter/1-4.htm">1 Peter 1:4</a>.
