in the age
| Root | αἰών (aiōn) |
| Core Meanings | age, epoch, era, age-span, world-order, perpetuity |
| Semantic Range | a defined age or epoch, a long but limited era, the present world-order, the age to come, perpetuity, eternity understood as an unending age |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, αἰών often distinguishes between "this age" and "the coming age," marking redemptive periods in God’s purposes. It frames history in terms of divinely ordered epochs rather than abstract timelessness, shaping Jewish and early Christian eschatological expectation. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,DMS — noun, dative case, masculine, singular. The dative here typically conveys sphere ("in"), time ("during"), or relation ("to/for") with a singular masculine noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun αἰῶν denotes an age or epoch characterized by a particular order or course of time. The form αἰῶνι is dative masculine singular, which commonly expresses location in time or sphere, hence "in the age," preserving both the singular form and the dative sense. |
