It conveys the idea of an unending or constant state, often used in contexts that emphasize the eternal or unchanging nature of a subject. In the New Testament, "aei" is employed to describe actions, states, or conditions that are ongoing or everlasting.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of eternity and perpetuity was significant in both philosophical and religious contexts. The Greeks often contemplated the nature of time and existence, with philosophers like Plato discussing the eternal forms. In the Jewish context, the idea of God's eternal nature and His everlasting covenant with His people was a central theme. The use of "aei" in the New Testament reflects these cultural understandings, emphasizing the eternal truths and promises of God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>ever, unceasingly<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>always (6), constantly (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 104: ἀεί</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀεί</span></span> (see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">αἰών</span></span>, adverb (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down), always;
