time denotes honor or esteem given, owed, received, or associated with worthy status, and can also denote a price or value.

The attested use most often concerns honor as esteem, recognition, or distinction given to people, God, Christ, or a person or vessel in a worthy role. A smaller group of contexts uses the term for a monetary price, sale proceeds, or the value assigned to goods.

1. Esteem, recognition, or honorable standing · dominant

   The singular forms occur in clauses about giving or owing regard: in 1 Peter 3:7 the APB renders husbands as “rendering honor to the wife,” and in Romans 13:7 it places honor among what is owed. The same use appears in acclaim and distinction: Revelation 4:11 renders honor received by the Lord and God, while 2 Timothy 2:21 describes a cleansed person as a vessel “for honor.”

   1 Peter 3:7Romans 13:71 Timothy 5:17Revelation 4:11Hebrews 2:92 Timothy 2:21
2. Price, sale proceeds, or assessed value · occasional

   Plural and singular forms appear in transactions and valuations. In Acts 19:19 the APB renders the clause about books by saying that their “value” was counted, while Acts 5:2 and Acts 5:3 speak of keeping back from the proceeds of a sold place; Matthew 27:9 likewise renders the clause with “the price of the one who had been priced.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the term with “honor,” especially in clauses of giving, receiving, or owing it. In commercial clauses it instead uses wording such as “price,” “value,” or “proceeds”; These renderings describe the clauses rather than supplying a separate English equivalent in every instance.
