αἰώνων
aiṓn
eternal
A segment, period, or span of time; in contexts, a specific era, epoch, or prescribed age, often with distinctive character or significance. αἰών can refer both to a finite lifetime, a historical period (such as a generation or age), or, more abstractly, to the totality of temporal existence ('world-age'). In some contexts, it can imply an ongoing perpetuity or a time of indefinite duration, and by extension, the world order or cosmos as structured within a given age.

SIBI-P1 Translation G165-04
of ages
| Morphological Notes | Noun, genitive masculine plural (Gr,N,,,,,GMP): indicating "of" multiple ages or epochs. |
| Rendering Rationale | The genitive plural form denotes possession or relation, thus "of ages," preserving the core sense of distinct periods or epochs. "Ages" reflects the root idea of extended spans of life or world-order periods without importing contextual theology. |
