Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H1471 גּוֹי (goy): Often translated as "nation" or "people," this Hebrew term is used in the Old Testament to refer to both Israel and other nations, similar to the Greek ἔθνος. Usage: In the New Testament, ἔθνος is frequently used to distinguish between Jews and non-Jews, often translated as "Gentiles" or "nations." It can also refer to a specific ethnic group or people. Context: The Greek term ἔθνος appears numerous times in the New Testament, often in the context of God's plan for salvation extending beyond the Jewish people to include all nations. This term underscores the universal scope of the Gospel message. For instance, in Matthew 28:19, Jesus commands His disciples to "make disciples of all nations (ἔθνη)," highlighting the inclusive nature of the Great Commission. Similarly, in Romans 1:5, Paul speaks of receiving grace and apostleship to call "all the Gentiles (ἔθνη)" to the obedience that comes from faith.
