3. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
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).
   

4. The Devil's Dictionary (1881-1906)
IMMORTALITY, n.

    A toy which people cry for,
    And on their knees apply for,
    Dispute, contend and lie for,
        And if allowed
        Would be right proud
    Eternally to die for.
                                                                  G.J.
