The supplied morphology most often identifies the form as a conjunction, introducing the circumstance in which another action occurs: in Acts 1:13 the APB renders the entry into the upper room before the group goes up, and in John 19:30 it renders Jesus' receiving the vinegar before his final statement and death. It also frames a time or condition in John 21:18, where the APB contrasts being younger with growing old, and in Galatians 4:4, where it introduces the fullness of time before God's sending of his Son. Some supplied tags call the form an adverb, yet the clauses likewise locate an event in time, as in John 4:23's coming hour and John 9:4's coming night.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly makes the temporal connection explicit with “when,” including Acts 1:13 and John 19:30, while other clauses use expressions such as “while,” “until,” or “an hour is coming.” These English expressions indicate the clause's temporal presentation rather than a fixed rendering of the term.
