in the fullness of time
idiom
- If you say something will happen in the fullness of time, you mean that it will happen if you wait long enough

The King James version of the Bible, first published in 1611, was the prominent translation used in Protestant churches for three centuries. But as the English language changed, more versions appeared as the Old English style became increasingly difficult for people to understand. The expression "in the fullness of time" is a good example of this transition.
In Galatians 4:4, the apostle Paul writes:
But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law. (King James Bible)
Other versions of the Bible articulate this phrase slightly different:
But when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law. (New International Version, 1984)
But when the right time came, God sent his Son, born of a woman, subject to the law. (New Living Translation, 2007)
But when the appropriate time had come, God sent his Son, born by a woman, born under the law. (International Standard Version, 2008)
