(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.
