STRONGS NT 243: ἄλλος

ἄλλος, , (cf. Latinalius, German alles, English else; from Homer down), another, other;

a. absolutely: Matthew 27:42; Matthew 20:3; Mark 6:15; Acts 19:32; Acts 21:34 (ἄλλοι μέν ἄλλο), and often,

b. as an adjective: Matthew 2:12; Matthew 4:21; John 14:16; 1 Corinthians 10:29 (ἄλλη συνείδησις, i. e. συνείδησις ἄλλου τίνος).

c. with the article: ἄλλος the other (of two), Matthew 5:39; Matthew 12:13, etc. (cf. Buttmann, 32 (28), 122 (107)); οἱ ἄλλοι all others, the remainder, the rest: John 21:8; 1 Corinthians 14:29. [SYNONYMS: ἄλλος, ἕτερος: ἄλλος as compared with ἕτερος denotes numerical in distinction from qualitative difference; ἄλλος adds ('one besides'), ἕτερος distinguishes ('one of two'); every ἕτερος is an ἄλλος, but not every ἄλλος is a ἕτερος; ἄλλος generally 'denotes simply distinction of individuals, ἕτερος involves the secondary idea of difference of kind'; e. g. 2 Corinthians 11:4; Galatians 1:6, 7. See Lightfoot and Meyer on the latter passage; Trench, § xcv.; Schmidt, chapter 198.]

Word Origin: A primary word

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of "another" or "other" in Hebrew is often expressed with words like אַחֵר (acher) [Strong's Hebrew 312], which similarly denotes something or someone different from what has been previously mentioned. Another related Hebrew term is שֵׁנִי (sheni) [Strong's Hebrew 8145], meaning "second" or "another," often used in enumerations or sequences. These Hebrew terms provide a foundation for understanding the Greek usage in the Septuagint and the New Testament.

Usage: The term ἄλλος is used in various contexts throughout the New Testament to indicate another of the same kind. It is often used to differentiate between two or more items, people, or concepts that are similar in nature but distinct from each other.

Context: The Greek word ἄλλος (allos) appears frequently in the New Testament and is a key term in understanding the nuances of biblical texts. It is often used in contrast to the Greek word ἕτερος (heteros), which also means "another" but typically refers to something of a different kind. The distinction between ἄλλος and ἕτερος is important for interpreting passages where the nature of the "other" is significant.

For example, in John 14:16, Jesus says, "And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever." Here, ἄλλος is used to describe the Holy Spirit as another Advocate of the same kind as Jesus, emphasizing the continuity and unity within the Godhead.

In Matthew 10:23, Jesus instructs His disciples, "When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next." The use of ἄλλος here suggests moving to another town of the same kind, highlighting the ongoing mission of spreading the Gospel.

The word ἄλλος is also used in parables and teachings of Jesus to illustrate points about the Kingdom of God, human behavior, and divine expectations. For instance, in the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:5), "Other seed fell on rocky ground," indicating seed of the same kind but falling in different conditions.

Understanding the use of ἄλλος helps in grasping the subtleties of biblical narratives and teachings, providing insight into the relationships and distinctions between people, places, and spiritual truths.
