time-intervals
| Root | χρόνος (chronos) |
| Core Meanings | time, span of time, interval, duration, delay |
| Semantic Range | periods of time, durations, extended intervals, seasons in a general sense, eras, delays |
| Conceptual Significance | χρόνος emphasizes measurable or extended duration in contrast to decisive or appointed moments (καιρός). In biblical theology, it often highlights God’s sovereignty over extended history and unfolding periods, underscoring patience, delay, or the progression of redemptive events through successive spans of time. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun, accusative masculine plural (Gr,N,,,,,AMP,). Functions as a direct object or object of certain prepositions; plural indicates multiple durations or periods. |
| Rendering Rationale | χρόνους is the accusative masculine plural form of χρόνος, denoting multiple spans or intervals of time. Rendering it as "time-intervals" preserves the root sense of measurable duration (distinct from a fixed occasion, καιρός) while reflecting the plural number and its function as a direct object in the accusative case. |
