In a nutshell: pollution generally pertains to one's practices, whereas corruption
pertains to the core of one's being. For example:
● Matt 23:27-28 . .Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites!
You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the
inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean. In the same way, on
the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of
hypocrisy and wickedness.
The Pharisees and the rabbis in the Israel of Jesus' day were very religious, and
they appeared as sound in the Jewish faith as anyone could possibly be. But
meanwhile the very fabric of their being was in an unacceptable spiritual condition.
The remedy for their condition was, and is, to upgrade the natural core of their
being to a core that's more like God's than like man's.
● 2Pet 1:2-4 . . Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of
God and of Jesus our Lord. His divine power has given us everything we need for
life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and
goodness. Through these He has given us his very great and precious promises, so
that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the
corruption in the world caused by evil desires.
