    Comments: In a number of languages a term meaning basically ‘tribe’ has been extended in meaning to identify ‘nations.’ In other instances different nations are spoken of simply as ‘different peoples.’ In certain cases distinct nations are classified primarily in terms of their diverse languages, for example, ‘those people who speak different languages.’ Such an expression should not, however, be used if it only refers to multilingual persons.

    DefinitionShort: (an extended meaning of {L:ἔθνος} ‘nation,’ {D:11.55}) those who do not belong to the Jewish or Christian faith
    Glosses: ['heathen', 'pagans', 'Gentiles']
    Comments: Though in a number of instances τὰ ἔθνη may be rendered as ‘those who do not believe in God,’ it is often more appropriate to render τὰ ἔθνη in terms of belief in other gods or in false gods. For example, {S:04900401700028} may be rendered as ‘do not any longer live like those who believe in idols’ or ‘… in gods who are not really God.’
