Merkitys

See definition for αιων 165

See definition for κοσμος 2889

It is only in a part of their meanings that these two words are in any

real sense synonymous, and it is that part which is here considered.

Both A.V. and R.V. often translate αιων by world, thus

obscuring the distinction between it and κοσμος. αιων is

usually better expressed by age, it is the world at a given time, a

particular period in the world's history.

κοσμος has very frequently an unfavorable meaning, denoting the

inhabitants of the world, mankind in general, as opposed to God. A

similar meaning is often attached to αιων, it means the spirit of

the age, often in an unfavorable sense. See Eph 2:2, where both

words occur together. An exceptional meaning for the plural of αιων

is found in Heb 1:2 11:3, where it denotes the worlds, apparently

in reference to space rather than time.
