Winer's 592 (551) — but in Act 13:35 supply ψαλμῷ). in partitive formulas: ἄλλοι... ἕτεροι δέ, Heb 11:36 cf. Act 2:13; ὁ πρῶτος... ἕτερος, Luk 14:19; Luk 16:7; ὁ δεύτερος... ἕτερος, Luk 19:20 (where L T Tr WH ὁ ἕτερος); τινες... ἕτεροι δέ, Luk 11:16; ᾧ μέν... ἄλλῳ δέ... ἑτέρῳ δέ... ἄλλῳ δέ, 1Co 12:9 f; οἱ μέν... ἄλλοι (L οἱ) δέ... ἕτεροι δέ, Mat 16:14.

b. with the article, the other (of two): οἱ ἕτεροι, the others, the other party, Mat 11:16 T Tr WH (see ἑταῖρος). distinctively: εἷς or εἷς... ὁ ἕτερος, Mat 6:24; Luk 7:41; Luk 16:13; Luk 17:34; Luk 18:10; Luk 23:40; τό ἕτερον πλοῖον, Luk 5:7; ἡ δέ ἑτέρα namely, ἡμέρα, the next day, the day after, Act 20:15; Act 27:3 (Xenophon, Cyril 4, 6, 10 (others)). ὁ ἕτερος, the other, when the relation of conduct to others is under consideration is often put by way of example for any other person whatever, and stands for 'the other affected by the action in question' (and may be transitive, thy neighbor, thy fellow, etc.): Rom 2:1; Rom 13:8; 1Co 6:1; 1Co 10:24; 1Co 10:29; 1Co 14:17; Gal 6:4; (Jas 4:12 R G); plural οἱ, αἱ, τά ἕτεροι, ἕτεραι, ἑτέρα, the others i. e. the rest, Luk 4:43. It refers:
