Aiṓnios, in Greek αἰώνιος, is a key term in the New Testament that is typically translated as "eternal", as in "eternal life." Sometimes it is translated as "everlasting" or "perpetual".
When used in the Gospel of John, however, αἰώνιος seems to have a more immediate meaning. A translation as "infinite life," here and now, may be more accurate than translating it as "eternal life" about the distant future.
