    Comments: The most frequent use of αἰώνιος in the NT is with ζωή 'life', for example, ἵνα πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων ἐν αὐτῷ ἔχω ζωὴν αἰώνιον ‘so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life’ {S:04300301500018}. In combination with ζωή there is evidently not only a temporal element, but also a qualitative distinction. In such contexts, αἰώνιος evidently carries certain implications associated with αἰώνιος in relationship to divine and supernatural attributes. If one translates ‘eternal life’ as simply ‘never dying,’ there may be serious misunderstandings, since persons may assume that ‘never dying’ refers only to physical existence rather than to ‘spiritual death.’ Accordingly, some translators have rendered ‘eternal life’ as ‘unending real life,’ so as to introduce a qualitative distinction.
