akin to oknos, "a shrinking, to be loath or slow to do a thing, to hesitate, delay," is used in Acts 9:38 . In the Sept. in Numbers 22:16 , "do not delay;" Judges 18:9 .

from chronos, "time," lit. means "to while away time," i.e., by way of lingering, tarrying, "delaying;" "delayeth," Matthew 24:48; Luke 12:45; "tarried," Matthew 25:5; "tarried so long," Luke 1:21; "will (not) tarry," Hebrews 10:37 . See TARRY.

lit. signifies "that which is thrown up" (ana, "up," ballo, "to throw"); hence "a delay," Acts 25:17 . See DEFER.
