Strong's also says "properly, an age. I find it interesting that Strong's 5550 defines chronos as "a space of time"..... distinguished from 165 (aion) which denotes a particular period or interval My opinion about Strong's concordance is that Strong let the KJV dictate some of the meanings. Just look at all the definitions he uses in the concordance: age, course, eternal, (for)ever, ever(more,)world. In other words, he uses the phrases from the KJV to tell him what aion meant. Because the life and death are both termed aionion or age during doesn't mean they will end when the ages end. The ages are ended by the abolishment of death. So after the ages, there can only be life. Death will be inoperative, so all will be vivified. Matthew 25:46 "And these shall go away into the Punishment of the Ages, but the righteous into the Life of the Ages." We must be consistent about the meaning of the word especially within the same sentence!! You are so right about that Brian. I believe exactly that translation you have posted. Punishment of the ages which for us is death. The wages of sin is death. The elect will receive life "for the ages". When the ages end, all will be vivified because death will be inoperative. So the life for the ages is the special salvation spoken of in 1 Timothy 4:10. Unbelievers do not receive life "for the ages". They will "the ages" in the lake of fire. But, again Brian, the ages will end. Now apply your advice about being consistent especially in the same sentence to 1 Corinthians 15:22 and Romans 5:18. Consistency. That is what the Concordant Literal New Testament is all about. alan w
