From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   inheritance
  
      In {object-oriented
      programming}, the ability to derive new {classes} from
      existing classes.   A {derived class} (or "subclass") inherits
      the {instance variables} and {methods} of the "{base class}"
      (or "superclass"), and may add new instance variables and
      methods.   New methods may be defined with the same names as
      those in the base class, in which case they override the
      original one.
  
      For example, bytes might belong to the class of integers for
      which an add method might be defined.   The byte class would
      inherit the add method from the integer class.

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).
