Elizabeth:

Here are citaitons from a Greek lexicon


vanity = mataiotes:

strictly, nonsense, nothingness, emptiness (2P 
2.18); as a characteristic state of someth. futility, frustration, 
purposelessness (RO 8.20). 


corruption = phthora:

 destruction, ruin, dissolution; lit. as it affects nature 
corruptibility, subjection to decay (RO 8.21); of the body at burial 
dissolution, decomposition, decay (1C 15.42); of animals destined for food 
slaughter, killing (2P 2.12a); fig. in a moral sense depravity, corruption 
(2P 1.4); of the fut., as a final recompense destruction, death, ruin opp. 
eternal life  (GA 6.8; 2P 2.12b). 

Hope this helps

Kevin
