    Hi Earl,

    Just to add a couple details to Jesse's correct reply. The word "aioni"(or variant) is translated in the NT as a couple different words "ages, eternal, ever, world/worlds". The most used is "world" and "ever". As noted "kosmos" is used a bit more for "world".

    The two full definitions of this word "Strongs G135" are:

    Strongs Definition: properly an age; by extension perpetuity (also past); by implication the world; specifically (Jewish) a Messianic period (present or future)

    Thayers Definition: 1. for ever, an unbroken age, perpetuity of time, eternity 2. the worlds, universe 3. period of time, age.

    God Bless.
