chronos denotes a temporal interval, whether a duration, a marked period, or repeated occasions.

The dominant use denotes an interval through which someone remains, waits, lives, or an event continues. It also marks a particular or larger period connected with an event, promise, restoration, or expectation, and once appears in the plural for repeated occasions.

1. An interval of duration · dominant

   The accusative singular form marks the span of continuing activity or experience: in Acts 14:3 the APB renders the clause as remaining "for a considerable time," while Acts 20:18 describes being present "the whole time." It also frames a limited remaining span in 1 Peter 4:2 and an allotted opportunity for repentance in Revelation 2:21.

   Acts 14:3Acts 20:181 Peter 4:2Revelation 2:21John 12:35Matthew 25:19
2. A marked period or temporal point · common

   The term identifies a period defined by a surrounding event or condition. In Luke 1:57 the APB renders Elizabeth's period for giving birth as fulfilled; in Galatians 4:4 it renders the arrival of a fullness, and Acts 3:21 refers to periods of restoration.

   Luke 1:57Galatians 4:4Acts 3:21Acts 7:171 Peter 1:20Jude 1:18
3. Repeated occasions · rare

   In Luke 8:29 the dative plural occurs in the clause describing the unclean spirit's repeated seizures of the man; the APB renders this as "many times."

   Luke 8:29

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term through expressions such as "for a considerable time," "the whole time," "the fullness of time," and "many times." These are verse-level renderings rather than fixed equivalents for the lemma.
