[Editor’s note (2026): This online version of the book has now been updated for all scriptural references, from Roman numerals to Arabic numbering. In addition, we have updated the Greek transliterations from Erasmian to Neo-Hellenic Koine Greek. For a 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.]
