The Aionian Bible un-translates and instead transliterates eleven special words to help us better understand the extent of God’s love for individuals and all mankind, and the nature of afterlife destinies. The original translation is unaltered and an inline note is appended to 64 Old Testament and 200 New Testament verses. Compare the definitions below to the Aionian Glossary.
