This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
1Th 5:1. Περὶ τῶν χρόνων, of the times) When these things shall happen, which I have mentioned. Καιροί, seasons, are parts χρόνων, of the times.[24]-Οὐ ΧΡΕΊΑΝ ἜΧΕΤΕ, ye have no need) Those who watch do not require to be told when the hour will come; for they are always ready.
[24] Χρόνος gives the notion of indefinite time; Καιρός, the time, the opportune point of time, when a thing should be done. Ammonius says well, ὁ καιρός indicates quality (ποιότητα) of time; and χρόνος, quantity (ποσότητα).-ED.
