SIBI-P1 G2087-12
other-kind ones (masculine plural, accusative)
| Root | ἕτερος (heteros) |
| Core Meanings | other, another of a different kind, distinct, alternate |
| Semantic Range | another of a different kind, distinct persons, alternative options, different parties, contrasting group |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, ἕτερος often highlights qualitative difference rather than simple numerical addition (contrast with ἄλλος). It can signal doctrinal deviation, a different spirit, or a distinct group, thus carrying theological weight when distinguishing truth from error or one group from another. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective (or substantival adjective), accusative masculine plural (AMP). Used here in the accusative case, masculine gender, plural number; may function substantivally to mean "other ones." |
| Rendering Rationale | ἕτερος denotes another of a different kind, emphasizing distinction rather than mere numerical addition. The accusative masculine plural form ἑτέρους is reflected by rendering it as "other-kind ones" in the masculine plural functioning as a direct object. |
