LIST OF EONIAN 1. In this particular word study, we are concerned with the

English word EONIAN, Strong’s number 166. EONIAN is the adjective of the English noun EON.

2. MS refers to the oldest manuscripts we have today from about

300 AD in the original languages, Koine Greek font. 3. There are three entries here for each of the 72 verses.

a. First is the popular King James Version, 1611 AD. b. Second is a concordant literal derived from the MS. c. Third is the Greek text, in modern Greek font, from the

Textus Receptus; 1516 AD. Jerome’s Latin Vulgate, from which it came, was created no earlier than 382 AD.

4. There are several verses where the adjective EONIAN is

missing in both the King James Version as well as the Textus Receptus.

5. To be consistent, in the King James Version, verses Rom

16:25, 2 Tim 1:9, and Titu 1:2, where the word WORLD is, it should be translated ETERNAL instead of WORLD which would be absurd; absurd but at least consistent as the Bible is always consistent and does not have any contradictions in the Autographs. (see listings 39, 51, and 53 below)

6. Where the adjectives everlasting or eternal appear in

this list, as well as the adverbial phrase for ever, Strong’s number is 166 for those occurrences.

1. Matt 18:8 (KJS) Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast [them] from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.

Matt 18:8 (CLV) Now, if your hand or your foot is snaring you, strike it off and cast it from you. Is it ideal for you to be entering into life maimed or lame, or, having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the fire eonian? 8 ει δε η χειρ σου η ο πους σου σκανδαλιζει σε εκκοψον αυτα και βαλε απο σου καλον σοι εστιν εισελθειν εις την ζωην χωλον η κυλλον η δυο χειρας η δυο ποδας εχοντα βληθηναι εις το πυρ το αιωνιον

2. Matt 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what

good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? Matt 19:16 And lo! one coming to Him said, "Teacher, what good shall I be doing that I should be having life eonian?" 16 και ιδου εις προσελθων ειπεν αυτω διδασκαλε αγαθε τι αγαθον ποιησω ινα εχω ζωην αιωνιον

3. Matt 19:29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters,

or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. Matt 19:29 And everyone who leaves houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or fields, on account of My name, a hundred-fold shall be getting, and shall be enjoying the allotment of life eonian. 29 και πας ος αφηκεν οικιας η αδελφους η αδελφας η πατερα η µητερα η γυναικα η τεκνα η αγρους ενεκεν του ονοµατος µου εκατονταπλασιονα ληψεται και ζωην αιωνιον κληρονοµησει

4. Matt 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from

me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: Matt 25:41 "Then shall He be declaring to those also at His left, `Go from Me, you cursed, into the fire eonian, made ready for the Adversary and his

messengers. 41 τοτε ερει και τοις εξ ευωνυµων πορευεσθε απ εµου οι κατηραµενοι εις το πυρ το αιωνιον το ητοιµασµενον τω διαβολω και τοις αγγελοις αυτου

5. Matt 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the

righteous into life eternal. Matt 25:46 And these shall be coming away into chastening eonian, yet the just into life eonian." 46 και απελευσονται ουτοι εις κολασιν αιωνιον οι δε δικαιοι εις ζ

ωην αιωνιον

6. Mark 3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation: Mark 3:29 yet whoever should be blaspheming against the holy spirit is having no pardon for the eon, but is liable to the eonian penalty for the sin"-- 29 ος δ αν βλασφηµηση εις το πνευµα το αγιον ουκ εχει αφεσιν εις τον αιωνα αλλ ενοχος εστιν αιωνιου κρισεως

7. Mark 10:17 And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one

running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? Mark 10:17 And at His going out into the road, lo! one certain rich man, running toward Him and falling on his knees before Him, inquired of Him, "Good Teacher! What shall I be doing that I should be enjoying the allotment of life eonian?" 17 και εκπορευοµενου αυτου εις οδον προσδραµων εις και γονυπετη

8. Mark 10:30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses,

and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

9. Luke 10:25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him,

saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? Luke 10:25 And lo! a certain lawyer rose, putting Him on trial, and saying, "Teacher, by doing what should I enjoy the allotment of life eonian?" 25 και ιδου νοµικος τις ανεστη εκπειραζων αυτον και λεγων διδασκαλε τι ποιησας ζωην αιωνιον κληρονοµησω

10. Luke 16:9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon

of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations. {mammon: or, riches} Luke 16:9 "And am I saying to you, Make for yourselves friends with the mammon of injustice, that, whenever it may be defaulting, they should be receiving you into the eonian tabernacles? 9 καγω υµιν λεγω ποιησατε εαυτοις φιλους εκ του µαµωνα της αδικιας ινα οταν εκλιπητε δεξωνται υµας εις τας αιωνιους σκηνας

11. Luke 18:18 And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? Luke 18:18 And a certain chief inquires of Him, saying, "Good Teacher, by doing what should I enjoy the allotment of life eonian?" 18 και επηρωτησεν τις αυτον αρχων λεγων διδασκαλε αγαθε τι ποιησας ζωην αιωνιον κληρονοµησω

12. Luke 18:30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in

the world to come life everlasting. Luke 18:30 who may not by all means be getting back manyfold in this era, and in the coming eon, life eonian." 30 ος ου µη απολαβη πολλαπλασιονα εν τω καιρω τουτω και εν τω αιωνι τω ερχοµενω ζωην αιωνιον NOTE: In this verse we have both the noun EON, 165, and the adjective EONIAN, 166.

13. John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have

eternal life. John 3:15 that everyone believing on Him should not be perishing, but may be having life eonian. 15 ινα πας ο πιστευων εις αυτον µη αποληται αλλ εχη ζωην αιωνιον

14. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that

whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 16 For thus God loves the world, so that He gives His only-begotten Son, that everyone who is believing in Him should not be perishing, but may be having life eonian.

16 ουτως γαρ ηγαπησεν ο θεος τον κοσµον ωστε τον υιον αυτου τον µονογενη εδωκεν ινα πας ο πιστευων εις αυτον µη αποληται αλλ εχη ζωην αιωνιον

15. John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that

believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. John 3:36 He who is believing in the Son has life eonian, yet he who is stubborn as to the Son shall not be seeing life, but the indignation of God is remaining on him." 36 ο πιστευων εις τον υιον εχει ζωην αιωνιον ο δε απειθων τω υιω ουκ οψεται ζωην αλλ η οργη του θεου µενει επ αυτον Now, think hard about this; Who do you suppose enables you to believe, Satan or God? The answer is John 3:27.

16. John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall

never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life. John 4:14 yet whoever may be drinking of the water which I shall be giving him, shall under no circumstances be thirsting for the eon, but the water which I shall be giving him will become in him a spring of water, welling up into life eonian." 14 ος δ αν πιη εκ του υδατος ου εγω δωσω αυτω ου µη διψηση εις τον αιωνα αλλα το υδωρ ο δωσω αυτω γενησεται εν αυτω πηγη υδατος αλλοµενου εις ζωην αιωνιον

17. John 4:36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life

eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. John 4:36 And he who is reaping is getting wages and is gathering fruit for life eonian, that both the sower and the reaper likewise may be rejoicing.

36 και ο θεριζων µισθον λαµβανει και συναγει καρπον εις ζωην αιωνιον ινα και ο σπειρων οµου χαιρη και ο θεριζων

18. John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and

believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. John 5:24 "Verily, verily, I am saying to you that he who is hearing My word and believing Him Who sends Me, has life eonian and is not coming into judging, but has proceeded out of death into life. 24 αµην αµην λεγω υµιν οτι ο τον λογον µου ακουων και πιστευων τω πεµψαντι µε εχει ζωην αιωνιον και εις κρισιν ουκ ερχεται αλλα µεταβεβηκεν εκ του θανατου εις την ζωην

19. John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life:

and they are they which testify of me. John 5:39 "Search the scriptures, for in them you are supposing you have life eonian, and those are they which are testifying concerning Me, 39 ερευνατε τας γραφας οτι υµεις δοκειτε εν αυταις ζωην αιωνιον εχειν και εκειναι εισιν αι µαρτυρουσαι περι εµου

20. John 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which

endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed. {Labour not: or, Work not} John 6:27 Do not work for the food which is perishing, but for the food which is remaining for life eonian, which the Son of Mankind will be giving to you, for this One God, the Father, seals." 27 εργαζεσθε µη την βρωσιν την απολλυµενην αλλα την βρωσιν την µενουσαν εις ζωην αιωνιον ην ο υιος του ανθρωπου υµιν δωσει τουτον γαρ ο πατηρ εσφραγισεν ο θεος

21. John 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which

seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

22. John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath

everlasting life. John 6:47 Verily, verily, I am saying to you that he who is believing in Me has life eonian. 47 αµην αµην λεγω υµιν ο πιστευων εις εµε εχει ζωην αιωνιον

23. 53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you NOTE: In the King James Version, as well as in the Textus Receptus, the adjective EONIAN, 166, is missing. It is in the MS text however. John 6:53 Jesus, then, said to them, "Verily, verily, I am saying to you, If you should not be eating the flesh of the Son of Mankind and drinking His blood, you have no eonian life in yourselves. 53 ειπεν ουν αυτοις ο ιησους αµην αµην λεγω υµιν εαν µη φαγητε την σαρκα του υιου του ανθρωπου και πιητε αυτου το αιµα ουκ εχετε ζωην εν εαυτοις

24. John 6:54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal

life; and I will raise him up at the last day.

25. John 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go?

thou hast the words of eternal life. John 6:68 Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we come away? Declarations of life eonian hast Thou! 68 απεκριθη ουν αυτω σιµων πετρος κυριε προς τινα απελευσοµεθα ρηµατα ζωης αιωνιου εχεις

26. John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly. NOTE: In the King James Version, as well as in the Textus Receptus, the adjective EONIAN, 166, is missing. It is in the MS text however John 10:10 The thief is not coming except that he should be stealing and sacrificing and destroying. I came that they may have life eonian, and have it superabundantly. 10 ο κλεπτης ουκ ερχεται ει µη ινα κλεψη και θυση και απολεση εγω ηλθον ινα ζωην εχωσιν και περισσον εχωσιν

27. John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand. John 10:28 And I am giving them life eonian, and they should by no means be perishing for the eon, and no one shall be snatching them out of My hand

28 καγω ζωην αιωνιον διδωµι αυτοις και ου µη απολωνται εις τον

αιωνα και ουχ αρπασει τις αυτα εκ της χειρος µου NOTE: In this verse we have both the noun EON, 165, and the adjective EONIAN, 166.

28. John 12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in

this world shall keep it unto life eternal. John 12:25 He who is fond of his soul is destroying it, and he who is hating his soul in this world, shall be guarding it for life eonian. 25 ο φιλων την ψυχην αυτου απολεσει αυτην και ο µισων την ψυχην αυτου εν τω κοσµω τουτω εις ζωην αιωνιον φυλαξει αυτην

29. John 12:50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting:

whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. John 12:50 And I am aware that His precept is life eonian. What, then, I am speaking, according as the Father has declared it to Me, thus am I speaking." 50 και οιδα οτι η εντολη αυτου ζωη αιωνιος εστιν α ουν λαλω εγω καθως ειρηκεν µοι ο πατηρ ουτως λαλω

30. John 17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give

eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. John 17:2 according as Thou givest Him authority over all flesh, that everything which Thou hast given to Him, He should be giving it to them, even life eonian. NOTE: Isn’t this speaking of the SPECIAL salvation of the elect cited in 1 Tim 4:9-11; the immortal EONIAN life, the life of the ages? (specially not exclusively)

2 καθως εδωκας αυτω εξουσιαν πασης σαρκος ινα παν ο δεδωκας αυτω δωση αυτοις ζωην αιωνιον

31. 3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God,

and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. 3 Now it is eonian life that they may know Thee, the only true God, and Him Whom Thou dost commission, Jesus Christ. 3 αυτη δε εστιν η αιωνιος ζωη ινα γινωσκωσιν σε τον µονον αληθινον θεον και ον απεστειλας ιησουν χριστον

32. John 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name. NOTE: In the King James Version, as well as in the Textus Receptus, the adjective EONIAN, 166, is missing. It is in the MS text however John 20:31 Yet these are written that you should be believing that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that, believing, you may have life eonian in His name. 31 ταυτα δε γεγραπται ινα πιστευσητε οτι ο ιησους εστιν ο χριστος ο υιος του θεου και ινα πιστευοντες ζωην εχητε εν τω ονοµατι αυτου

33. Acts 13:46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary

that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. Acts 13:46 Being bold, both Paul and Barnabas, say, "To you first was it necessary that the word of God be spoken. Yet, since, in fact, you are thrusting it away, and are judging yourselves not worthy of eonian life, lo! we are turning to the nations. 46 παρρησιασαµενοι δε ο παυλος και ο βαρναβας ειπον υµιν ην ανα

γκαιον πρωτον λαληθηναι τον λογον του θεου επειδη δε απωθεισθε αυτον και ουκ αξιους κρινετε εαυτους της αιωνιου ζωης ιδου στρεφοµεθα εις τα εθνη

34. Acts 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified

the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. Acts 13:48 Now on hearing this, the nations rejoiced and glorified the word of the Lord, and they believe, whoever were set for life eonian. 48 ακουοντα δε τα εθνη εχαιρον και εδοξαζον τον λογον του κυριου και επιστευσαν οσοι ησαν τεταγµενοι εις ζωην αιωνιον

35. Roma 2:7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory

and honour and immortality, eternal life: Roma 2:7 to those, indeed, who by endurance in good acts are seeking glory and honor and incorruption, life eonian; 7 τοις µεν καθ υποµονην εργου αγαθου δοξαν και τιµην και αφθαρσιαν ζητουσιν ζωην αιωνιον

36. Roma 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign

through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Roma 5:21 that, even as Sin reigns in death, thus Grace also should be reigning through righteousness, for life eonian, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. 21 ινα ωσπερ εβασιλευσεν η αµαρτια εν τω θανατω ουτως και η χαρις βασιλευση δια δικαιοσυνης εις ζωην αιωνιον δια ιησου χριστου του κυριου ηµων

37. Roma 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God,

ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.

Roma 6:22 Yet, now, being freed from Sin, yet enslaved to God, you have your fruit for holiness. Now the consummation is life eonian.. 22 νυνι δε ελευθερωθεντες απο της αµαρτιας δουλωθεντες δε τω θεω εχετε τον καρπον υµων εις αγιασµον το δε τελος ζωην αιωνιον

38. 23 For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life

through Jesus Christ our Lord. 23 For the ration of Sin is death, yet the gracious gift of God is life eonian, in Christ Jesus, our Lord. 23 τα γαρ οψωνια της αµαρτιας θανατος το δε χαρισµα του θεου ζωη αιωνιος εν χριστω ιησου τω κυριω ηµων

39. Roma 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my

gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world 166 ETERNAL began, (see note 5 at the top of this article) Roma 16:25 Now to Him Who is able to establish you in accord with my evangel, and the heralding of Christ Jesus in accord with the revelation of a secret hushed in times eonian, 25 τω δε δυναµενω υµας στηριξαι κατα το ευαγγελιον µου και το κηρυγµα ιησου χριστου κατα αποκαλυψιν µυστηριου χρονοις αιωνιοις σεσιγηµενου

40. 26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets,

according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: 26 yet manifested now and through prophetic scriptures, according to the injunction of the eonian God being made known to all nations for faith-obedience--

NOTE: For better English understanding, read “the eonian God” as “the God of the ages.” This verse has nothing to do with the duration of God’s existence. It is talking about God’s ages or God’s eonian times which He created Heb 1:2. 26 φανερωθεντος δε νυν δια τε γραφων προφητικων κατ επιταγην του αιωνιου θεου εις υπακοην πιστεως εις παντα τα εθνη γνωρισθεντος

41. 2Cor 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us

a far more exceeding [and] eternal weight of glory; 2Cor 4:17 For the momentary lightness of our affliction is producing for us a transcendently transcendent eonian burden of glory, 17 το γαρ παραυτικα ελαφρον της θλιψεως ηµων καθ υπερβολην εις υπερβολην αιωνιον βαρος δοξης κατεργαζεται ηµιν

42. 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which

are not seen: for the things which are seen [are] temporal; but the things which are not seen [are] eternal. 18 at our not noting what is being observed, but what is not being observed, for what is being observed is temporary, yet what is not being observed is eonian. 18 µη σκοπουντων ηµων τα βλεποµενα αλλα τα µη βλεποµενα τα γαρ βλεποµενα προσκαιρα τα δε µη βλεποµενα αιωνια

43. 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were

dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 5:1 For we are aware that, if our terrestrial tabernacle house should be demolished, we have a building of God, a house not made by hands, eonian, in the heavens.

5:1 οιδαµεν γαρ οτι εαν η επιγειος ηµων οικια του σκηνους καταλυθη οικοδοµην εκ θεου εχοµεν οικιαν αχειροποιητον αιωνιον εν τοις ουρανοις

44. Gala 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but

he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Gala 6:8 for he who is sowing for his own flesh, from the flesh shall be reaping corruption, yet he who is sowing for the spirit, from the spirit shall be reaping life eonian. 8 οτι ο σπειρων εις την σαρκα εαυτου εκ της σαρκος θερισει φθοραν ο δε σπειρων εις το πνευµα εκ του πνευµατος θερισει ζωην αιωνιον

45. 2The 1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the

presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 2The 1:9 who shall incur the justice of eonian extermination from the face of the Lord, and from the glory of His strength-- 9 οιτινες δικην τισουσιν ολεθρον αιωνιον απο προσωπου του κυριου και απο της δοξης της ισχυος αυτου

46. 2The 2:16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father,

which hath loved us, and hath given [us] everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, 2The 2:16 Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and God, our Father, Who loves us, and is giving us an eonian consolation and a good expectation in grace, 16 αυτος δε ο κυριος ηµων ιησους χριστος και ο θεος και πατηρ ηµων ο αγαπησας ηµας και δους παρακλησιν αιωνιαν και ελπιδα αγαθην εν χαριτι

47. 1Tim 1:16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. 1Tim 1:16 But therefore was I shown mercy, that in me, the foremost, Jesus Christ should be displaying all His patience, for a pattern of those who are about to be believing on Him for life eonian. 16 αλλα δια τουτο ηλεηθην ινα εν εµοι πρωτω ενδειξηται ιησους χριστος την πασαν µακροθυµιαν προς υποτυπωσιν των µελλοντων πιστευειν επ αυτω εις ζωην αιωνιον

48. 1Tim 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life,

whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. 1Tim 6:12 Contend the ideal contest of the faith. Get hold of eonian life, for which you were called, and you avow the ideal avowal in the sight of many witnesses. 12 αγωνιζου τον καλον αγωνα της πιστεως επιλαβου της αιωνιου ζωης εις ην και εκληθης και ωµολογησας την καλην οµολογιαν ενωπιον πολλων µαρτυρων

49. 1Tim 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man

can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom [be] honour and power everlasting. Amen. 1Tim 6:16 Who alone has immortality, making His home in light inaccessible, Whom not one of mankind perceived nor can be perceiving, to Whom be honor and might eonian! Amen! NOTE: Does this verse define the duration of God’s existence as it speaks of Him being the only Immortal as penned by Paul when Paul wrote this letter to Timothy?

16 ο µονος εχων αθανασιαν φως οικων απροσιτον ον ειδεν ουδεις ανθρωπων ουδε ιδειν δυναται ω τιµη και κρατος αιωνιον αµην

50. 1Tim 6:19 Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the

time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. 19 treasuring up for themselves an ideal foundation for that which is impending, that they may get hold of life really. NOTE; The adjective EONIAN is not in the MS but was added to the Textus Receptus as well as the King James Version. 19 αποθησαυριζοντας εαυτοις θεµελιον καλον εις το µελλον ινα επιλαβωνται της αιωνιου ζωης

51. 2Tim 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called [us] with an holy calling, not

60. 15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means

of death, for the redemption of the transgressions [that were] under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. 15 And therefore He is the Mediator of a new covenant, so that at a death occurring for the deliverance of the transgressions of those under the first covenant, those who are called may be obtaining the promise of the eonian enjoyment of the allotment. 15 και δια τουτο διαθηκης καινης µεσιτης εστιν οπως θανατου γενοµενου εις απολυτρωσιν των επι τη πρωτη διαθηκη παραβασεων την επαγγελιαν λαβωσιν οι κεκληµενοι της αιωνιου κληρονοµιας

understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, [even] in his Son Jesus Christ.

70. Jude 1:7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like

manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. {strange: Gr. other} Jude 1:7 As Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities about them in like manner to these committing ultra-prostitution, and coming away after other flesh, are lying before us, a specimen, experiencing the justice of fire eonian. 7 ως σοδοµα και γοµορρα και αι περι αυτας πολεις τον οµοιον τουτοις τροπον εκπορνευσασαι και απελθουσαι οπισω σαρκος ετερας προκεινται δειγµα πυρος αιωνιου δικην υπεχουσαι

everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Reve 14:6 And I perceived another messenger flying in mid-heaven, having an eonian evangel to bring to those situated on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and language and people, 6 και ειδον αλλον αγγελον πετωµενον εν µεσουρανηµατι εχοντα ευαγγελιον αιωνιον ευαγγελισαι τους κατοικουντας επι της γης και παν εθνος και φυλην και γλωσσαν και λαον

One more thing while we are here: Listed above are all the occurrences of the adjective EONIAN (in the New Testament) which come from its noun EON or AGE. When we look in the concordance we find that many times the King James Version translates the noun EON or AGE into the noun WORLD. One such place is 2 Corinthians 4:4:

4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

Who is “the god of this world” anyway? Well, “the god of this world” is, of course, Satan. The word WORLD here is actually the word EON or AGE, Strong’s number 165. If Strong’s number 165 meant “eternity” then then Satan would be the god of “eternity.” We know that Satan’s activities come to an end when he is thrown into the lake of fire which means Satan could not be the god of “eternity” but of a finite period of time only. It follows, then, that EON or AGE or Strong’s number 165 must be a time duration entity that has a beginning and an ending, a finite period of time. The adjective EONIAN or Strong’s number 166 must, then, also pertain to a finite period of time so can not be “eternal” or “everlasting.” In this verse we also learn that God does blind the minds of men by the use of Satan and we learn that Christ is the IMAGE of His God and His Father. 5/2/2011 9:05 PM The Meaning of Eon
