58.36 · Nature, Class, Example · Different Kind or Class
different, differently, other than pertaining to that which is different in kind or class from all other entities
1 Some persons have assumed that the distinction between ἄλλος and ἕτερος is simply a difference between what is another in a series and that which is significantly different in kind, but such a distinction cannot be confirmed from existing contexts, though there may be this type of distinction implied in GAL 1:6, GAL 1:7 in which another kind of gospel is rejected on the basis that there is no other gospel. Note, however, that both ἄλλος and ἕτερος also occur in the meaning of another, which is not the same (see 58.37).
