RE: the phrase THN ZWHN THN AIWNION.
RE: "AIWNIOS is a two-termination adjective" [Conrad]

What is the preferred English translation when used as an adjective?

Wilson's Diaglott [literal]: "the life the age-lasting"
KJV: "that eternal life"
Bauer [by Arndt/Gingrich]: "eternal life"
Vincent: "the eternal life"
Revised: "the eternal life"
TCNT: "that immortal life"
George Ladd [I have been told] suggests generally, "life in the age to come"

Thanks,
