[Editor’s note (2026): All scriptural references have been modernized according to CMOS/SBL standards, and Roman numerals have been updated to Arabic numbering. In addition, we have updated all Erasmian transliterations to Neo-Hellenic Koine Greek. For further study on this, see our article titled Erasmus Never Used Erasmian Greek for further explanation. As reference, the two key Greek words αἰών and αἰώνιος are transliterated as — Erasmian: aion/aionios; Neo-Hellenic Koine: eón/eónios.]
