SIBI-P1 G165-01
the age
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative masculine singular (Gr,N,,,,,AMS,). Accusative marks it as the direct object; masculine grammatical gender; singular number. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun αἰών fundamentally denotes an age or epoch—an extended span characterized by a particular order. Rendering it as "the age" preserves its temporal and qualitative sense rather than importing the later abstract idea of "eternity." The accusative singular form (AMS) indicates it functions as a direct object in its clause, which English expresses through word order rather than inflection. |
