Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from a primary word (ἕτερος) meaning "other" or "another."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of "another" or "different" in Hebrew can be found in words like אַחֵר (acher • Strong's Hebrew 312), which similarly denotes another or different, often used in contexts of distinction or contrast.

This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Greek word ἕτερος, illustrating its usage and significance in the New Testament, and linking it to its Hebrew counterparts for a broader biblical context.

Usage: In the New Testament, ἕτερος is frequently used to describe something that is different in kind or nature from something else. It can refer to another of a different kind, as opposed to ἄλλος (allos), which often means another of the same kind.

Context: • The Greek word ἕτερος appears in various contexts throughout the New Testament, often highlighting a contrast or distinction. For example, in Luke 18:10, "Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other (ἕτερος) a tax collector." Here, ἕτερος emphasizes the difference in social and religious standing between the two men.
• In Galatians 1:6-7, Paul uses ἕτερος to describe a different gospel: "I am astonished how quickly you are deserting the One who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different (ἕτερος) gospel—which is really no gospel at all." This usage underscores the contrast between the true gospel and a distorted version.
• The word is also used in contexts of comparison, such as in Romans 7:23, where Paul speaks of "another (ἕτερος) law at work in the members of my body," contrasting it with the law of God.
• ἕτερος can also denote a sequence or order, as seen in Acts 20:15, "The next day we set sail from there and arrived off Chios. The day after that (ἕτερος) we crossed over to Samos, and on the following day we arrived at Miletus."
