GENTILES

The non-Jewish nations, known as goyim in Hebrew and ethnoi in Greek. According to the OT perspective, there are but two categories of people, the Jews (God’s elect) and the nations. According to the NT perspective, salvation is offered to Jew and Gentile alike. Both Peter and Paul took the lead in bringing the gospel to the Gentiles. Paul spent his entire ministry trying to unite Jewish and Gentile Christians into one body, the church. See Nations; Paul, The Apostle.
