heteros marks another person or thing, often setting it alongside or against one already in view.

The term most often identifies another person or member within a group or sequence of people. It also marks a distinct alternative, object, group, or category set beside something else, and in travel notices it occurs with a day described as the following day.

Senses in use

  1. Another person or member of a group · dominant

    The term identifies a further person among others: in 1 Corinthians 12:9 and 1 Corinthians 12:10, the dative singular masculine form recurs in the distribution of gifts, where the APB renders the clauses "To another." In Luke 14:19 and Luke 14:20, the nominative singular masculine form introduces successive speakers, while Acts 27:1 includes additional prisoners alongside Paul.

  2. A distinct alternative or contrasting thing · common

    The term marks what is set over against something already named. In 2 Corinthians 11:4, the accusative singular neuter form appears in a clause contrasting what was preached, received, and accepted with alternatives; the APB renders "another Jesus" and "a different spirit." In Acts 4:12, the same form occurs in the assertion that there is no other name, and Hebrews 7:11 speaks of another priest rather than one according to Aaron's order.

  3. The following day · occasional

    In travel sequence clauses, the dative singular feminine form accompanies a day after the one just mentioned. In Acts 20:15 and Acts 27:3, the APB renders the progression as "the next day," locating the arrival after the preceding day's movement.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB commonly presents the contrast with "another," "other," or "different," and in travel notices with "the next day." Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, those renderings show the clause-level presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent.
