SIBI-P1 G2087-12

other-kind ones (masculine plural, accusative)

Rootἕτερος (heteros)
Core Meaningsother, another of a different kind, distinct, alternate
Semantic Rangeanother of a different kind, distinct persons, alternative options, different parties, contrasting group
Conceptual SignificanceIn 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 NotesAdjective (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 Rationaleἕτερος 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.
