THE WORD EVERLASTING.

Defined by the Illustrated Christian Weekly.
The word aionios, translated frequently, though not always, everlasting and eternal, is probably from two Greek words meaning ever being.
It does not always mean literally eternal, and is sometimes translated of the age of the world. It, however, always indicates a period of time as long as the existence of the object spoken of, and when applied to the soul indicates a state of happiness or of suffering as lasting as the soul itself.
