Husteros marks what occurs at a subsequent point, whether an action, arrival, death, or period of time.

The attested use marks a subsequent stage in a sequence: a change of mind follows a refusal, a son is sent after earlier servants, witnesses arrive afterward, and a future period follows the present. It can locate later actions and events as well as “times” in 1 Timothy 4:1.

1. At a subsequent point in a sequence · dominant

   The accusative singular neuter form ὕστερον places an event after what precedes it: in Matthew 21:29 the APB renders a refusal followed by a changed mind and departure, and in Matthew 21:37 it renders the sending of the son after earlier actions. The same sequencing appears when the other virgins arrive in Matthew 25:11 and when two witnesses come forward in Matthew 26:60; the dative plural masculine form ὑστέροις in 1 Timothy 4:1 instead locates the predicted departure within a subsequent period of “times.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB variously presents the sequencing with “Later,” “afterward,” and “after,” including “later times” in 1 Timothy 4:1. These are verse-level renderings rather than definitions.
