Exegesis
The noun phrase to hieron kai aphtharton kḗrygma tês aiōníou sōtērías {τὸ ἱερὸν καὶ ἄφθαρτον κήρυγμα τῆς αἰωνίου σωτηρίας | tó hierón kaí áphtharton kḗrygma tês aiōníou sōtērías} stacks qualifiers—sacred, imperishable—to stress the message’s eternal salvific purpose. The translation retains narrative causality in the first half and adopts a summarizing commission tone in the latter.

“deliverance”
In context — Mark 16:8
And having gone out, they fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid. But all the things that had been commanded, they reported briefly to those around Peter; and after these things, Jesus Himself sent out, through them, the holy and imperishable proclamation of the eternal salvation, from east to west. Amen.
