allos marks a person, group, or thing as distinct from one already named or placed in comparison.

The word identifies someone or something distinct from what has already been named, whether an additional person or group, a further object, or one side of a comparison. It occurs in distributions such as gifts given to one person and then to a distinct recipient, and in contrasts between different things, statements, or groups.

    The forms identify a referent set alongside one already in view: in 1 Corinthians 12:8 the dative singular form occurs as wisdom is given to one recipient and knowledge to a distinct recipient; in John 18:15 the nominative singular form distinguishes a disciple alongside Simon Peter. The same contrast can concern things or groups: in 1 Corinthians 15:39 the APB renders several kinds of flesh in sequence, while Acts 19:32 describes different cries within the confused assembly.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB commonly uses “another,” “other,” or “others,” and in contrastive clauses it may use wording such as “one thing and some another.” Its varied English phrasing confirms the verse-level contrasts rather than fixing a separate rendering for every form.
