[He adds: “Where there is no room for doubt: for the Greek has αἰώνιον, which our interpreters have never rendered by any other word than eternal; though scarce any authors in any passage have used αἰώνιον in the sense of everlasting. Unless perhaps, because they render αἴων as meaning time, in a more familiar way, they may choose to interpret αἰώνιον, not eternal, but ‘for an age;’ which I do not remember any one having ventured to do.” Conf. Matt. xxv. 46.—C.]
