Usage

The term "ethnikós" is used in the New Testament to refer to individuals or groups who are not part of the Jewish community, often translated as "Gentile" or "heathen." It carries the connotation of those outside the covenant community of Israel, and by extension, those who do not follow the God of Israel. In the New Testament context, it often refers to non-Jewish people who are outside the early Christian community.
