Hi Harold,

<<<The lexicon BAGD for the expression CPONOIS AIWNIOIS in Rom 16:25 gives "long ages ago." With PRO as in Tit 1:2 and 2 Tim 1:9, the phrase means "before time began." In Job 3:18 the word refers to people who lived long ages ago. In Job 10:22 the idea is "perpetual.">>>>

So would you agree with me in suggesting that AIWNIOS takes on opposing meanings in 16:25 and 16:26?  That is, in the former AIWNIOS denotes a temporary duration of time whereas, in the latter, AIWNIOS denotes an unending duration of time?

thanks again

Gabe Chesster
