1: ἄλλος

(Strong's #243 — Adjective — allos — al'-los )

is used, in its neuter form, allo, in Galatians 5:10 , lit., "another thing," with the meaning "otherwise." See OTHER , No. 1.

2: ἄλλως

(Strong's #247 — Adverb — allos — al'-loce )

the adverb corresponding to No. 1, is translated "otherwise" in 1 Timothy 5:25; the contrast is not with works that are not good (No. 3 would signify that), but with good works which are not evident.

(Strong's #2088 — Adverb — heteros — het-er'-oce )

is used in Philippians 3:15 , "otherwise (minded)," i.e., "differently minded." Contrast No. 2, and for the corresponding difference between the adjectives allos and heteros, see ANOTHER.

See ELSE.

Note: The phrase ei, "if," de, "but," mege, "not indeed," i.e., "but if not indeed," is translated "otherwise" in the AV of Matthew 6:1; Luke 5:36 (RV, "else," in each place); in 2 Corinthians 11:16 , AV, "if otherwise" (RV, "but if ye do"). See also TEACH.
