Berean Strong's Lexicon heteros: Other, another, different Original Word: ἕτερος Word Origin: Derived from a primary word (as a comparative of ἄλλος, allos, meaning "other" or "another") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H312 (אַחֵר, acher): Another, other - H259 (אֶחָד, echad): One, another Usage: The Greek word "ἕτερος" (heteros) is used to denote something that is different in kind or nature. It often implies a distinction between two items or concepts, suggesting an alternative or another of a different sort. In the New Testament, "heteros" is used to contrast one thing with another, highlighting differences rather than similarities. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, distinctions between different kinds or classes were significant in various aspects of life, including philosophy, social structure, and religion. The use of "heteros" in the New Testament reflects this cultural context, where distinguishing between different teachings, people, or spirits was crucial for maintaining doctrinal purity and community identity.
