αὔριον
Aurion
Adverb
Tomorrow / The Next Day

Definition

The Greek adverb aurion simply means tomorrow or the next day. While seemingly mundane, aurion carries theological weight in several key passages about divine sovereignty, human planning, and eschatological urgency — particularly in Jesus' teaching on anxiety and in the wisdom tradition against presumptuous planning.

Usage & Theological Significance

Matthew 6:34: 'do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.' Jesus commands the release of tomorrow-anxiety as an act of trust in the Father who provides. James 4:13-14 echoes Hebrew wisdom: those who say they will go today or tomorrow do not even know what tomorrow holds. Tomorrow belongs to God.
