From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Immortality
     perpetuity of existence. The doctrine of immortality is taught
     in the Old Testament. It is plainly implied in the writings of
     Moses (Gen. 5:22, 24; 25:8; 37:35; 47:9; 49:29, comp. Heb.
     11:13-16; Ex. 3:6, comp. Matt. 22:23). It is more clearly and
     fully taught in the later books (Isa. 14:9; Ps. 17:15; 49:15;
     73:24). It was thus a doctrine obviously well known to the Jews.
     
       With the full revelation of the gospel this doctrine was
     "brought to light" (2 Tim. 1:10; 1 Cor. 15; 2 Cor. 5:1-6; 1
     Thess. 4:13-18).

  IMMORTALITY, n.
  
      A toy which people cry for,
      And on their knees apply for,

      Eternally to die for.
