Aiōn is the noun behind English “eon.” It names a great span of time, an age, or eternity itself. The New Testament repeatedly distinguishes “this present age” from “the age to come.”

Jesus’ resurrection has already opened the new age in the middle of the old. Believers therefore live as people of two ages — present in this one, citizens of the next, sustained by hope of the “eternal (aiōnios) life” already begun.
