ἀλλότριος

Matthew 17:25 ἀλλοτρίων; strangers?

“Yes,” he answered. When Peter entered the house, Jesus preempted him. “What do you think, Simon?” He asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs and taxes: from their own sons, or from others?”

Here: People who are not the king's own: outside the royal family, so his subjects and conquered peoples. It does not mean "strangers" in the sense of unknown people or travellers.

Matthew 17:26 ἀλλοτρίων, strangers,

“From others,” Peter answered. “Then the sons are exempt,” Jesus said to him.

Luke 16:12 ἀλλοτρίῳ of another

And if you have not been faithful with the belongings of another, who will give you belongings of your own?

John 10:5 ἀλλοτρίῳ ἀλλοτρίων After a stranger, of strangers

But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will flee from him because they do not recognize his voice.”

Here: Placed first for emphasis: 'a stranger they will never follow.' It names someone who is not the sheep's own shepherd and to whom the sheep do not belong. It is the opposite of 'his own' (τὰ ἴδια) in verse 4.

Acts 7:6 ἀλλοτρίᾳ strange

God told him that his descendants would be foreigners in a strange land, and that they would be enslaved and mistreated four hundred years.

Romans 14:4 ἀλλότριον another’s

Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

Here: Stressed: this slave is not yours. The word frames the whole issue as one of ownership and jurisdiction.

Romans 15:20 ἀλλότριον another’s

In this way I have aspired to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.

Here: 'Someone else's': a foundation that another worker laid and that belongs to his work. The word stresses ownership and whose area it is, not inferiority.

2 Corinthians 10:15 ἀλλοτρίοις others’

Neither do we boast beyond our limits in the labors of others. But we hope that as your faith increases, our area of influence among you will greatly increase as well,

2 Corinthians 10:16 ἀλλοτρίῳ another’s

so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. Then we will not be boasting in the work already done in another man’s territory.

1 Timothy 5:22 ἀλλοτρίαις, of others,

Do not be too quick in the laying on of hands and thereby share in the sins of others. Keep yourself pure.

Here: 'Belonging to others.' These sins are not Timothy's own, but he would make them partly his by endorsing the person who commits them. It sets up the contrast with 'yourself' that follows.

Hebrews 9:25 ἀλλοτρίῳ· of another;

Nor did He enter heaven to offer Himself again and again, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.

Here: The point of the verse. The high priest's blood is someone else's, the animals'. Christ's blood is 'his own' (διὰ τοῦ ἰδίου αἵματος, 9:12). The pair 'own / another's' carries the contrast.

Hebrews 11:9 ἀλλοτρίαν a foreign [country]

By faith he dwelt in the promised land as a stranger in a foreign country. He lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.

Here: "Belonging to someone else": the land was legally and practically in other people's hands (the Canaanites, the Hittites of Gen 23). The irony is that his own promised land was "someone else's" for his whole life.

Hebrews 11:34 ἀλλοτρίων. of foreigners.

quenched the raging fire, and escaped the edge of the sword; who gained strength from weakness, became mighty in battle, and put foreign armies to flight.

Here: "Of foreigners," meaning non-Israelite enemy nations, from the Philistines to the Seleucid Greeks. 1 Maccabees uses the same word for the foreigners who took over the sanctuary (1 Macc 2:7).
