appointed seasons
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,NMP — noun, nominative masculine plural; functioning as a subject or predicate nominative; plural indicates multiple appointed times or seasons. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun καιροὶ is nominative masculine plural, referring to multiple distinct, fittingly appointed times rather than time in general (χρόνος). "Appointed seasons" preserves the sense of divinely or situationally set, decisive moments and reflects the plural nominative form. |
