unperishing

Lasting without end

Unperishing means not subject to decay or death—lasting indefinitely.

The word is rare and literary, appearing mostly in poetry or religious contexts to describe eternal things: unperishing love, unperishing glory.

It carries more gravitas than its near-synonym imperishable, perhaps because of its rarity.
