A1.     Due [Adjective]

idios "one's own," is applied to kairos, "a season," in Gal_6:9, "in due season," i.e., in the season Divinely appointed for the reaping. So in 1_Tim_2:6, "the testimony to be borne in its own (AV, 'due') times (seasons);" 1_Tim_6:15, "in its own (idios) times (seasons);" similarly in Titus_1:3. See idios_under_BUSINESS.

Note: For axios, "the due reward," see REWARD.

C1.     Due [Noun]

opheile akin to opheilo, is rendered "dues" in Rom_13:7. In 1_Cor_7:3, RV, it is translated "her due" (the AV, "due benevolence" follows another reading).

Notes:
(1) In the phrases "in due season" in Matt_24:45; Luke_12:42; Rom_5:6 (lit., "according to time"), and "in due time," 1_Pet_5:6, there is no word representing "due" in the original, and the phrases are, lit., "in season," "in time."

(2) For the phrase "born out of due time," in 1_Cor_15:8, see ektroma_under_BEGET.
