SIBI-P1 G2087-07

the different-kind ones

Rootἕτερος (heteros)
Core Meaningsother of a different kind, distinct, another (qualitatively different), alternate
Semantic Rangeothers of a different kind, distinct persons, alternate individuals, contrasting group, another category distinct from the first
Conceptual Significanceἕτερος highlights qualitative distinction rather than mere numerical addition. In biblical usage, it can mark theological contrast (e.g., a different gospel, different spirits, or distinct groups), underscoring difference in nature or category rather than simple plurality.
Morphological NotesAdjectival form (used substantively), nominative masculine plural (NMP). Appears with morphological tags RI and EF in UGNT data; in all cases here it is nominative masculine plural, functioning as the subject or predicate nominative in the clause.
Rendering Rationaleἕτεροι is the nominative masculine plural form of ἕτερος, functioning substantivally as "the different ones" or "others of a distinct kind." The rendering "the different-kind ones" preserves the qualitative distinction inherent in ἕτερος (as opposed to another of the same kind) and reflects its nominative masculine plural form.
