the age
| Root | αἰών (aiōn) |
| Core Meanings | age, era, epoch, age-span, world-order, perpetuity |
| Semantic Range | a defined age or epoch; a world-order; the present age in contrast to the coming one; an age-long duration; by extension, the world understood in its temporal course. |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical thought, αἰών often distinguishes between "this age" and "the coming age," shaping Jewish and early Christian eschatology. It frames history as structured epochs under divine sovereignty rather than an abstract concept of endless time. |
| 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. |
