    DefinitionShort: (derivative of {L:ἔθνος} ‘nation,’ {D:11.55}) pertaining to being like or similar to one who is not a Jew
    Glosses: ['like a Gentile', 'as a heathen', 'similar to a pagan']
    Comments: In {S:04800201400042} one cannot use some such expression as ‘like those who do not believe in God’ (compare τὰ ἔθνη, {D:11.37}), since here the contrast is between two types of believers, Jews and non-Jews. Frequently there is no specific term for ‘Gentile’ in contrast with Jews, and therefore it may be important to speak of ‘Gentiles’ as ‘those who are not Jews.’ {S:04800201400042} may then be rendered as ‘you are a Jew, but you have been living like those who are not Jews.’
