in the appointed-time
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,DMS — noun, dative masculine singular; functioning typically as a dative of time ("in/at the time"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun καιρῷ is dative masculine singular, indicating location in or relation to a specific, fitting moment. "In the appointed-time" preserves the root sense of a divinely or contextually set season (distinct from mere chronological time) while reflecting the dative case with the preposition "in." |
