Corruptible definition

Corruptible means liable to decay. Silver and gold can become oxidized and lose their value. Pure gold does not oxidize easily but much of the gold of the ancient world was not pure. Often this impure gold oxidized, ruining the beautiful metal by tarnishing. “Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have heaped up treasure in the last days,” (James 5:3).
