Strong's Lexicon allos: other, another Original Word: ἄλλος Word Origin: A primary word Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is "אַחֵר" (acher), which also means "another" or "other." Usage: The Greek word "ἄλλος" (allos) is used to denote "another" or "other" in the sense of one more of the same kind. It is often used to distinguish between two or more items, people, or concepts that are similar in nature or category. In the New Testament, "allos" is frequently used to indicate another of the same kind, as opposed to "heteros," which can imply another of a different kind. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of "another" was significant in philosophical and rhetorical discussions, often used to compare and contrast ideas, people, or objects. In the context of the New Testament, understanding the distinction between "allos" and "heteros" can provide deeper insight into the text, as it reflects the nuanced understanding of similarity and difference in the early Christian community.

Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 243: ἄλλοςἄλλος, , (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. ἡ συνείδησις ἄλλου τίνος). c. with the article: ὁ 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.] Strong's Exhaustive Concordance more, one another, another, otherwise.
